Strength;
such a simple word, such a powerful meaning.
I despise those who think strength is measured by how
much you can bench press,
or what kinds of athletic activities you take part in.
Strength is so much more than to be able to lift up a
250 pound weight, or to be the top notch wrestler.
To be able to not break down,
even when the world around you is crumbling apart,
that is truly what real strength is.
When you are able to go thru life day by day,
constantly getting hurt by those around you,
feeling lost without a place you belong,
and still not have a
single tear
stream down your face
takes true power; takes true strength.
