I did not know why you hurt, and threw
tantrums – beyond my level-headedness
I did not know what made you cry
Tears never having dented my wellness
All the while, I had no clue
I happen to be stronger than you
I like to live freeβ unhindered
impulsive whims never subdued
it was beyond me to apprehend
which bonds made you feel unglued
All the while, I had no clue
I happen to be stronger than you
destinations left far behind
walked alone without a cue
wandering in darkness, still I think
was it me, or was it you?
All the while, I had no clue
I happen to be stronger than you

To be strong comes with a responsibility I think… I can relate to walking with those boots on tender feet.

Nice repeating couplet. We often don’t realize we are stronger than someone else.
