where does it come from
inside you
you couldn't hide it if you tried
not from me anyway
I know it when I see it
it began with my great grandmother
then my grandmother
my mother
and now you
but it doesn't matter how many times I tell you
or how many poems I write with you in mind
you have to believe in yourself
in order to see it for yourself
pain exists
but your tears can deal with the pain
you're built to endure
so don't choose to suffer
when you have everything you need
inside you
that's where your strength comes from
without a doubt
so why think about the question
when you've always been the answer
