Strong Enough Poem by Adele Katie Bowling

Note: This is a song.




I'm tired of picking up your slack
so here you go, take it back
I've had enough of all of that
and I guess that it's too bad

that you can't live without me
'cause I'm already gone
your life vest is deflated
let's see if you can float

I wanna see you try it on your own
I wanna see you do what I've done
and do it alone
I've persevered
done what you cannot
if I'm alone
at least I'm strong enough
strong enough
I'm strong enough
I'm strong enough
to do it on my own

I guess you think you're all that
well, I don't think you're big or bad
I've earned my way to where I am
but work's a word you wouldn't understand
there's no support, you're on your own
you had your parents, but now you're grown

if you can't live without me
too bad, because I'm gone
your life vest is deflated
let's see if you can float

I wanna see you try it on your own
I wanna see you do what I've done
and do it alone
I've persevered
done what you cannot
if I'm alone
at least I'm strong enough
strong enough
I'm strong enough
I'm strong enough
to do it on my own

if I'm alone or with someone
I know I'll make it no matter what
I've had to walk, and climb, too
and I'm not waiting for you
I can walk on my own
so sit there if you want to
if you wanna cry then find a tissue

I wanna see you try it on your own
I wanna see you do what I've done
and do it alone
I've persevered
done what you cannot
if I'm alone
at least I'm strong enough
strong enough
I'm strong enough
I'm strong enough
to do it on my own
and do it without you
'cause I'm strong enough
strong enough
to be alone
and carry on
and I'm not comin' back for you
'cause I'm strong enough
strong enough
strong enough
to do it without you
and be successful, too
