you are strong

and you need to believe that

sometimes you get weak and

your arms and knees give out and

you cry for help

but you manage to get up and over

is your insides and they are far from it

your outsides match and glow golden and shiny

languid and polished

yet soft and flawed

you are wonderful

and you have to believe that
