How easy it is to speak
When positioned in strength.
Hard it would seem
When that strength
Stems from weakness
The day we learn to be vulnerable
We become stronger.
Being hard does not belie strength.
Weakness is not beneath you
Clinging to power
Forgetting weakness.
Hanging on to power
In fear.
How hard is it to be weak when strong?
Or strong when weak?
When I take your ebb of strength,
Your source of weakness
Who will you be?
What will you be?
When your trappings are striped away
Where will you go?
Who will you run to?
When the blinds are removed
And you can see brighter than before
Will sunglasses protect you from the rays?
Will your eyes open to see what is real?
Sparks of greatness
Arise from malleability
Of weakness and strength
