What is strength?
Strength is never giving up, never backing down.
Strength is also knowing when you’re wrong,
And acknowledging your mistake.
Strength is standing up to the powerful.
Helping the less powerful get back up.
Strength is standing up for what is right,
Not what you want.
Strength is something we all possess,
Something we all have in us.
But we need courage to bring out true strength,
Only then can we stand tall together.
Strength is not something we can measure,
Nor is it something always rewarded.
But when you use strength to help others
They will remember you.
So whenever you have the courage,
The courage to use your inner strength,
Do it and help people who need it,
And maybe someday they will repay the favor.
Strength is something we all have, so use it.
