Never give up
Never give in
Or cry
Strength was independence
Fierce, unyielding
A mask for the soul
We—the unbending—
Despised weakness
Where tears reveal pain
The open heart ready to surrender
It is easy to mock the uninitiated
Eclipse
Night and day momentarily combined
Strength made beautiful in frailty
Man of sorrows; King of kings
Damascus Light
Brings blindness—for a time—
In cocoon of darkness
The metamorphosis
Scales fall away to reveal
I am weak
But also strong—in Another—
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made
perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses,
so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities.
For when I am weak, then I am strong.
~1 Corinthians 12:9-10

That's promising indeed. Your poem is short and crisp. You say so much in so little. Good work! Keep it up!
In a nutshell, that is the entirety of the bible, told over and over again.
Great job!
And they are only two in a message full of power.
Very well done indeed.
Blessings.
God bless~
