Resilience

She said,

“I hate the word

resilience.”

I asked,

“Why hate the word

resilience?

It means you’re

strong

when you need to be strong

and that you get up

and keep going.”

She replied,

“Yes, it means I’m

strong

when I need to be strong

and that I get up

and keep going.

But the thing is,

I’m tired of being

strong.

And I don’t always want

to get up

and sometimes I choose

not to keep going.”

She has a point

I think.
