Strong
Is the way you
Crawl through life's
barbed wires,
booby traps,
And barricades
And coming out still standing up after everything,
Still going.
Strong is withstanding
The harshest sand wind,
Letting the grains smother you,
Try to take you down,
But you still stand.
Strong is fighting for what is right,
Being able to know when you need to step in,
Realizing one's mistakes,
Fixing.
