STRENGTH.

a word thrown around by many, truly understood by few.

one doesn't---one can't---truly know the meaning of that word,

not until they are put into situations forcing them to have it.

situations where one would fail miserably without it..

situations where being strong is the ONLY option.

in moments where people would understand if you failed,

in moments where falling short would be accepted,

in moments where letting go is an option----

look inside.

there that word is again... STRENGTH.

you never know how much of it you have, how much of it you

can keep pulling out of seemingly thin air until you are tried

in ways beyond your previous capacity.

After persevering, enduring, pushing, and never giving up,

...you realize something.

the person you thought you were

is no match for the one you really are.

find it.

your STRENGTH.

I find more of mine every day.
