strength


Strength is recognizing that you need help


And asking for it


Strength is when no matter how hopeless the battle looks


You will never forfeit




Strength is letting down your guard


And taking a chance


Strength is asking the one person you secretly admire


To just one dance




Strength is going on


Even when you don't have the will


Strength is going to the extreme


Not just for the thrill




Strength is doing what's right


No matter what it will cost


Strength is asking for help


When you are completely and utterly lost




Strength is letting people get close


And giving them the ability to hurt you


Strength is not just saying what people want to hear


But saying what is true




Strength is never giving up


No matter how hopeless things seem


Strength is making reality out of


Your every hope and dream




Strength is being able to let go


And finally say goodbye


Strength is recognizing


That it's always okay to cry




Strength is being able to laugh


In the face of fear


Strength is going down the path you're on


No matter how drear




Strength is recognizing


When you need to let the one you love go


Strength is letting


Your true feelings show




Strength is being able to move on


And learn from your mistakes


Strength is being true to yourself


Even when everyone else are fakes




Strength is finally letting


The one that you love know


Strength is recognizing your mistakes


And using them to grow




Strength is scaling every mountain


No matter how high


Strength is freeing your soul


And letting your spirit fly




Strength is the ability to forgive


No matter what the crime


Strength is forgiving and forgetting


All of the time




Strength is in not following the crowd


But embarking on your own


Strength is knowing that you're never perfect


But merely partly grown




Strength is never giving up


Even when all odds are against you


Strength is always finding the time


To do what you've got to do




Strength is sticking up for


The person everyone picks on


Strength is always looking at the pro


And never at the con




Strength is knowing who you are


And who you want to beS


trength is found in everyone


In you . . . in her . . . in me.
