Standing Strong = Strength

"Standing Strong = Strength" is a poem that depicts how no one can determine the outcome of life. He watches the layers reveal the truth, knowing he must move forward. He realizes love can survive the darkest times as it becomes stronger behind closed doors. He discovers a new path full of hope that gives him the strength he needs to overcome weakness.

————

Ocean calls the final wave,

life’s decision is unmade,

no turning back

the shell of comfort.

Forge ahead within the truth,

layers disappearing,

love survives the deepest depth

behind closed doors.

A new path

comes to light

bringing hope beyond all challenges,

giving strength when weakness

tries to overcome.
