Why I Cried
I am strong yet vulnerable.
I was a wrestler, bumps and bruises littered my body.
That was not why I cried.
I was a dancer, I suffered strains and sprains, aches and pains.
That was not why I cried.
I was alone, african american surrounded by caucasians.
That was not why I cried.
I had anxiety.
That is why I cried.
I cried but I was not fragile.
I am strong but not as vulnerable anymore.
I have overcome my anxiety.
I am now just a wrestler, dancer, and proud african american.
Anxiety does not define me.
I cry but I am strong.
