Paradoxical Sanctuary

When you hurt your leg
you limp.

Some take advantage,
loving the pity.

Some toughen through the pain.
So as not to appear silly.
So as to appear normal.

Who is the stronger person?
Who is the weaker character?

If you look closely at each.

The former will prove a lie
in the way they are too loose.
You will see exaggeration.

The latter will prove a lie
in the way they are too stiff.
You will see hesitation.

Who will thrive?

The former will gather the wanted attention.
They won't care of the geniality.

The latter will push the sympathetic away.
They don't want to show their vulnerability.

Who is the stronger person?
Who is the weaker character?

Building walls is important...
but they need to be climbable.

Or you will be alone in
your sanctuary.
