My family thought that I am strong:
That I could take care of myself alone in the foreign land;
That I could easily make friends;
That I could surpass the feeling of homesickness;
My friends thought that I am strong:
That I could maneuver any trials that come my way;
That I am always ready to any battle that takes place;
That I could outdo enemies, who trespass on my territory;
My workmates thought that I am strong:
That I could manage any projects;
That I could find solutions to problems;
That I could handle work stress;
Then why am I feeling like this!
I am not that strong!
I am not a robot!
My heart is not made of stone.
I am only HUMAN!
