What doesn't kill you cripples you emphasizes every pain magnifies the solitude and ampliphies the strain What doesn't break you leaks inside pollutes you from the heart absolves you of emotions so the melancholy starts What doesn't kill you makes you sore leaves you bleeding and exposed reveals your inner weaknesses and strips away your clothes What dosn't end you makes you wait lets you rot a little more curse the clock another time sinking further to the floor What doesn't heal you makes you sick knocks you to your knees doubled-over at the waist and on the verge of vomitting What doesn't kill you doesn't kill you sustains your misery longer drags you deeper into hell but doesn't make you stronger "I don't need to scream for you to deem me aggravation." |

I would like to meet the person who thought up the stupid phrase "what ever doesn't kill you will make you stronger" and show them the error of their thoughts. Very well done! |

excellent take on the cliche "what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger"...geez, that's one of my favourite things to say when i want to demonstrate my self-deprecating sense of humour i like these lines...felt that but never described that absolves you of emotions so the melancholy starts |

Another amazing write here: What doesn't kill you makes you sore leaves you bleeding and exposed reveals your inner weaknesses and strips away your clothes Sadly - yes - but I will say that somehow - along this crazy path - the becoming stronger part becomes a choice - been there - still there - loved this . . . xxoo |

i definately liked it and could relate, i believed in that phrase for a long time, but the more i think about it, it doesn't seem to make me stronger, only more cynical and jaded and reluctant to expose myself to those things again, so i definately hear you and i really like what you did with this, thanks for sharing. |
