Bend me, Shake Me
You can bend me, you can shake me
But try as you may you cannot break me
I’ll just keep telling myself it will all be okay
Knock me down, hold me back- it’s only a delay
Life’s too short to let my spirit die
Though sometimes it seems all you’ve done is try
But I am here and I am strong
Even when the night starts to seem too long
Because in the morning’s early haze
The pieces of my shattered heart fall back into place
So here I stand ready to fly from this limb
To still embrace this life that’s mine alone to live

I enjoyed this Shannon. No matter what others and the world throws at us we all need to just go forward and embrace life and all the good it has to offer.
Yes, I agree. Bent but never broken completely. Sometimes a little regrouping is necessary to gather enough strength to stand, though. And then we can remind ourselves we are stronger than we feel until we feel it in our core again.
