Delicate and Fragile
But growing in strength
I am protected
I will win in the end
A shield of love surrounds me
I will not be afraid
As delicate as tissue
But that does not mean I'll fail
I wrote this poem in hospital when I was beginning to feel stronger in myself, but still feeling very vulnerable. I felt protected by the love of my family, as I still do, but now that love is increased, by love for myself
