There are no rules
you are already strong.
Even when you are feeling yourself falling apart
in the most public place you know.
Even when your knees hit the floor
and your grief meets you in floods.
Even when your body wracks with sobs
crafted in the belly of a tsunami.
Even when your sorrow feels like
an endless sea of drowning,
your fortitude is right there
inside you.
Your strength is within you always
to call up when you want to.
And besides, didn't i ever tell you
that survival, that resilience,
that strength looks
so different on us all?
On some it looks like taking a step back
from the world and on others it looks like
asking for help,
On some it looks like still waters and on others
it looks like a dam bursting as the water falls...
