Strength

Are you strong if you can lift 300 pounds? Are you strong if you can reach the top bell in one of those hammer games at the amusement parks? Are you strong if you can run a marathon? Are you strong if you have a lot of muscle? Are you strong if you can say no? Are you strong if you can tell the truth, as painful as it may be? Are you strong if you can walk away? Are you strong if you don't cry? Are you strong if you never give up on a task, a goal, a dream? Are you strong if you push yourself to the limit despite tears, pain, blood, and any other obstacles standing in your way? Are you strong if you resist temptation? Are you strong if you can stand on your own two feet? Is there strength in numbers? Are you strong if you're brave, fearless? Or are you brave, fearless, if you're strong? The sort of power that makes us strong comes from a sort of energy that can't be contained or defined. I don't know what it means to be strong but I'd like to some day.  Despite the ambiguity, we all have our moments of strength. We're all a sort of sexy, a kind of strong, a type of invincible.

Some things, some people, seem to be put in front of you to test that strength. I'm here to say that it is imperative you don't let your knees buckle under the pressure of the world.
