what is strength?
is it being rock solid?
is it being in top of the world?
is it being in control?
life has taught me that this is not the case
strength is being weak and going on anyway
strength is being humble enough to cry on the shoulder of a loved friend
strength is knowing what lays ahead will be difficult
and doing it anyway
strength is seeing that life is not easy
but living despite your fears
strength is seeing that not everything will be easy
but going forward all the same
its not about being big bad and ugly
its about being humble enough to ask for help
about knowing you are not alone
knowing that you can ask and receive
life has shown me much in the past few years
a lot of things i wish i could un-see
many more things i am glad i did see
trials and tests that have stretched me
hard times that forced me to grow
this is one of those times
but i know that in the end
my faith and my God are here for me
my incredible friends
my allies and my enemies
there are many people in my life to thank
for they have shown me much
most importantly there are many people
that deserve a well done
for they have faced trials and walked away
with new knowledge
my only prayer is that when God is done with me
i will be one of those people
