the strongest of them all

i think it is valuable 
to be a woman who feels it all.
although it may at times seem heavy,
that's the beauty of the journey
her ability to feel
will also be her 
ability to heal–

to heal a broken world,
to heal a hurting people,
to sit and sympathize
to feel and empathize

for although her heart has created more wounds
than it has healed,
she has also never been more confident
that emotions are meant to be felt.
they are not made to hidden,
they are not created to be ignored.

she now understands that even when they 
lead her astray,
there is always something new gained.
a new lesson,
a greater depth,
a sense of awareness–
some light, even in the mess.

i believe 
that a woman 
who feels 
it all,
is the strongest of 
them all.
