Be Strong

I don’t want to be strong
I want to be soft

I want to showcase my
puddles of melted tears
I want to be held by community

I can do it alone + I have been but
I’m tired
Tired of keeping up walls so 
high no one can traverse them
Moats so deep you 
drown before you have access

I don’t want to be strong
Strong is overrated
Strong is isolating
Strong is exhausting
