Strength Reserve

Strength Reserve

Cash it in
Their Karmic Debt
Defies reason
Invites doubt
Your calling is a smile
Your wisdom cries Youth
The pressure soothes the back’s of broken men
Your strength is hidden
It seems you’re weak
You’ve held your cards
Yet to play your hand
You fold the five aces
And then show them you had it
They begin to ask why
Looking for the reason
Hoping for a point
You open up
The real strength is not in the game
Does not come from a victory
It simply comes from knowing
and knowing that you know is strength enough.
