How strong you are

This is a poem that needs to be written right now.  I have a lot of friends graduating and growing up, and others that are going through a ton of #$%^ and neither realize how strong they actually are.  My mother asked me how I write what I write, and it's simple inspiration.  Everywhere I look there is inspiration in life, others, victories, and failures.  And the gift I was given was being able to express that inspiration through words. So I hope my writing has helped you in either realizing how special you really are, got a good laugh out of it, or just pure enjoyment.  Those are all winners in my eyes.  So without further ado....

How Strong You Are

Life is the gym we leave when we die.

What happens in it makes us stronger if we allow it.

Growing up is the same as increasing your weights.

If you wanna get stronger and grow it must be done.

You must experience life and live and grow.

Only then you realize how strong you are.

Things happen for a reason.

The people we meet are not on accident.

Everything and every person has a purpose.

Your friends are there to spot you in life.

Your family is there to make sure your heart grows stronger.

But sometimes you must do it all yourself.

Only then you realize how strong you are.

Whether you raise kids.

Or raise weighted dumbbells.

They both take a lot of effort to raise.

Only those with the strongest of hearts can raise children.

All it takes is arms to lift  weights up and down.

Helping others get back up when they fall down shows one true strength,

 A strong body is nice on the inside.

But a strong heart will make you a superhero.

When you know this is true.

Only then you realize how strong you are.

When you step away from the bars and look at how much weight you just liftted up and down,

Numerous times.

Throughout life.

Putting yours and others weights on your shoulders.

And coming out with a strong heart and a strong life.

Only then you realize how strong you actually are!
