Inner Strength

I have inner strength. I know I do. If I know this then why do I rely so much on others to keep me afloat? Is it because of my past hurts? Is it because I don't want to assume responsibility for myself? Do I not want to be able to protect myself, or do I just not think I'm worthy of this inner strength, this inner beauty that I possess? If others take care of me, then I don't have to. It's not necessary for me to use that power that I have buried deep inside of me.

It's there, lying dormant, waiting for the appropriate time to surface. When I need it most, I believe it will be there with open arms just consuming my shallow and weak essence and renewing it, like a phoenix rising from its own ashes.

This phoenix is Kodi. She is the one who will help others, heal others, care for others, and love them unconditionally. She will always be there for everyone, no matter what the price. Others will help her in her time of need. She will always reach out with a hand full of life and love. This is the true power of Kodi.

My true power is soft yet strong, vibrant and full of life, like a ray of hope for those that think they need someone to trust, someone to lean on in a storm, to shelter them from the world's hurts. To always be there for them in some capacity. To love and guide them to their destinations safely.

This is me. Truly.
