The moment before the lift
The point where I must have the greatest resistance.
To resist the fear that this weight is too heavy.
To resist the voices that I am not strong enough.
To resist those who say I should not be strong in the first place.
To resist the world telling me that smaller is better, that I am more worthy if I shrink myself instead of strengthen myself.
To resist the fear that I am not enough.
I resist.
