I'm Not Weak


Don’t call me weak, because a movie can cost me a tear. I can be emotional, so to speak. But calling me weak, I don’t adhere. Don’t think I’m weak, because a death of a pet is too much to bear. I love all animals, whether they have scales, paws, or a beak. But don’t think I’m weak, no don’t dare. Don’t believe I’m weak, because my muscles don’t show. It’s the inner strength you should seek. Don’t believe I’m weak, I have strength, I know. Don’t say I’m weak, because I won’t fight. I am without a violent streak. So don’t say I’m weak, for doing what’s right.
