Author’s Note: Hello everyone! It has been a while since I last uploaded new works on my WordPress. Fall 2021 semester has been very difficult for me so I haven’t had too much time to edit or even write creatively. But I remember that I had some works stashed away in my vault so I decided to upload these while I try to complete my other side projects. I hope you all are doing well and enjoy!

If you become a strong shield in order to protect others,
who will be able to protect you when you begin to shatter?
If you become strong and repel your emotions like a robot,
how will you ever feel the excitement that only love can expose? Or
know the heartbreak of losing someone you care about?
If you become strong and do everything by yourself,
how will you ever make friends and show that you are trustworthy?
If you become a strong workhorse, how will you ever lay
those heavy burdens on your shoulders down and learn to relax?
If you become too strong, when will you decide that I’m no longer needed in your life?
Do you want to know the worst part about being strong?
Is that no one asks if you’re “Okay?”
Are you eating well? Are you sleeping enough?
These questions will not be directed toward you if they are,
I know it will be an insult to you than it being a sign of caring.
Maybe this is a feeling that parents have to endure
as they watch their youngins grow up.
When the parents suddenly aren’t needed as much anymore
because the kids are “grown-up” now.
Naturally, we become strong and leave the nest,
and I think back, did I lose them because I became too strong?
Or did they lose me because they were too weak?
It saddens me that when someone becomes strong,
they will both gain and lose things they took for granted.
