The Strongest Part Of Me

Published by Family Friend Poems April 2021 with permission of the Author.

Even in my darkest moments
I still have that little voice
encouraging me to go on.
To stand up and keep fighting.
To wipe my tears and pull it together.
To never give up.
That quitting is not an option.
That it will be ok no matter what.
Without that voice I would be lost.
I couldn’t make it in this world.
That is the strongest part of me.
