Strongest Woman In The World

Fri, 10/04/2013 - 23:47 -- DaryaF

 

I am the strongest woman in the world.

I have survived a nation that did not want me.

I am surviving within a society that thinks I am a disease.

And now, I will survive without you.

And if you think, growing without you will be a struggle

Because you were

My first love,

My best friend,

My confidant,

And the smile on my face,

You don’t know how strong I am.

I have crossed oceans to survive before I could walk.

I have lived with rotting organs & background laughter as my IV.

I have threatened Gods for keeping what I want from me.

And now I will live without you and all the pain you brought.

You will never find another woman as strong as me.
