My Strength

A very personal piece written during a time when my father was in a coma.

                                       My Strength


My strength.

From an unknown source

Always there

From my mother

From my father

From myself

Holding me though I know I should break

Keeping me afloat though I know I should drown

Maintaining my sanity though I know I should crack

Here deep in my core

An unbreakable yet invisible force

A feeling in my spine

I am here for the long haul.
