Fragile

Author: boyshchrm6

Capable and strong
Survivor of all that's wrong
Yet delicate as linen lace
Fragile with new challenges to face

About this poem:

Often life seems to have all negative intersect at the same relative time in
one's life and no matter how much stamina we have we reach the edge
of shattering. This is a tribute to those people and an understanding of
their unique plight.

I guess this is why we are sometimes surprised
to see some people crumble...they hide their
pain so well.

Very true and yet some will always hide their pain and soldier on as best they can...beautiful!

Yes....so true.....boyshchrms...it comes sometimes in a flow...or should I say flood...but every time we survive, we gain strength from the sense of achievement...never think negative...Great write...Niah

Sometimes a torrent and a flood Niah9...but that which
does not kill us makes us stronger. Thanks for your
comment.

Hi, boyshchrm6,
Yes, we do all need TLC - no matter how strong we appear. linen lace, delicate to the eye, strength dependent on the threads used and the care provided.

Very true words my friend.
We are strong as fragil in life, that's why we are humans.
Stand steady my friend because life is always full of challenges!!
A big hello to the Canadians up there, you are our close brothers!!!
