Strong is on the inside, a root that keeps you standing whatever might hit you. But hard is only on the outside, this shield you put up to keep all the pain on the inside from showing. The soft inside is still there even when you don’t let yourself see it. And the shell keeps you safe, but it also keeps the good things from penetrating; love and trust and joy.
