Strong, But Tender

Bend, but not break

Polished, not fake

Steely, not invincible

Common, but irreplaceable

Crying, but not weak

Agreeable, but not meek

Humble, but not scared

Intrepid, but prepared

Scarred, but not damaged

Calm, but not managed

Tired, but not depleted

Bruised, but never, ever defeated
