I wish I could be strong
Like you,
And bold and spirited too,
That I could discard, so easily, mercilessly,
and without care,
Everything about you,
Like you did of me,

I wish I could be strong
Like her,
That girl, over there,
And bold, and spirited too,
Torn and alone, scarred and bruised,
She stands tall,
Vowing to fight on.
