Being strong and Independent

Being strong and independent 

You follow ur own path, you make ur own path

Being Strong and independent 

You are unfazed by situations, you carry on like nothing happened

Being Strong and independent

You go if others walk by you or not

Being Strong and independent

You are magnificent and awesome, a force of nature

Being strong and independent

You also carry the scrapes scars and the unhealed wounds

Being strong and independent 

You stop and notice your back is sore with huge burden

Being strong and independent 

You are all alone :-) Its ok, but there is some pain

Being strong and independent 

You can do it all yourself but You dont have to

Being strong and independent

You can ask for help

Being strong and independent

You can let down the guard and put down the weapons 

Being strong and independent

You can be strong enough to be weak and vulnerable

Being strong and independent

You can rest among friends

Being strong and independent 

You can be free, you can be at peace, you can just be

Being strong and independent

To being strong and independent and seeing all aspects of it

Cheers!

I wrote about how the boys who were stuck in the cave in Thailand were treated differently from Grenfel Tower victims. How eastern and older culture think u become strong by facing adversity but the liberal western culture sees you as being fragile and in need of care after adversity.
I wonder if the strong kids still carry wounds, like me. I have been strong in the past when I look back I see I should have let my guard down and healed after the situation had passed,  It is healthier to accept it was hard, that it hurt you. Its ok. :-) Being strong is great and awesome, after the storm has passed its also ok to say it was tough. The boys in the cave can say it was hard, they were shit scared, and they still get nightmares.. its still ok, they are still the strong boys who made it out of the cave.
