To provide a precise answer, I need the context regarding the previous question. However, based on the excerpts you provided, I can suggest which passage might be strongest depending on common themes such as resilience, identity, personal experience, and emotional depth.

If the previous question was about resilience or strength in the face of adversity, the passage "Still, some fear me, they call me names, they try to break / me, to wreck me, to ricochet me, but / my spine will keep mountains standing," would be the most supportive, as it emphasizes strength and the ability to withstand challenges.

If the previous question focused on personal experiences or identity, then "I am as you are; / I brush my teeth, I sleep, I cry when hurt and bleed when / injured," would be the best choice, reflecting shared human experiences and vulnerability.

Please provide the previous question or its context for a more accurate recommendation!
