Strength in Weakness

Strength in Weakness
 

without a word your eyes tell a story

they even tell the truth behind a smile

no wonder why we look away so much

filling in the spaces with miles and miles of nowhere

until we see things for how they are

and heal past our scars
 

no one really knows all there is to know

how could they when we're this complicated?

so sedated as we let our fears take control

taking over where we've been and where we decide to go

until we brave the change

choose to heal or stay the same
 

there's a strength in weakness

that breathes between the seams

feed it light and watch it rise

see the fire in your eyes

teach it patience and words through action

make your moves through love and passion

face your weakness

look it in the eyes

cause there's a strength in weakness

that'll make us rise
 

it’s that pivotal moment to make a choice
after everything that’s happened, what will define us?
trust everything that was, isn’t going to be the same
vulnerability never felt so scary to face head on in this rain
let it wash away your tears
and make your fears disappear 

don't be afraid

there’s a strength in weakness
that breathes between the seams
outgrow the shadow that haunts your dreams


feed it light and watch it rise
see the fire in your eyes
and know it was all a lie
even though it’ll try to convince us otherwise


face your weakness
look it in the eyes
cause there’s a strength in weakness
that’ll make us rise
 

Love Always,
Lainey
