Contradictory me

I have proven over and over again
that I am tougher than I seem.
Quality implicit.
I have endured the unbearable,
went through the unthinkable.
Quality implicit.
I have moved mountains
with faith as small as a mustard seed.
Quality implicit.
I have proven over and over again
that I am tougher than I seem.
But is this quality really implicit?
Is it implicit to me?
Despite my strength,
I did a self examination,
The results concluded:
My skeletal structure:
Brittle bones.
Ironically, my calcium intake
has been sufficient to avoid this.
On the surface everything’s intact,
But shattered on the inside…
Wait a minute;
“On the surface everything’s intact”?
How could everything be intact on the outside?
When it’s not on the inside?
There must be some sort of outward manifestation?
I know but I cover it up pretty well
when on the outer walls away from my private grounds.
