I Am Not

I am not strong. 

Not on my own. 

When I am strong, 
it is God in me, 
it is my trust and unseen belief
that lets God be the strength in me. 

I am not strong. 





I am not god. 

I cannot bear the weight of the world. 

I cannot fix all the problems that I want to. 
I'm not god, 
thank God. 

I am not strong. 





I am not impervious. 

I cannot love everyone perfectly 
all the time. 
I cannot respond to jokes at my expense 
or the odd humiliation 
as a simple joke 
all the time. 
I am human, 
prone to pain, 
suceptable to anger, 
and I need to feel loved. 

I am not strong. 



I am not 
strong
