Strength

What is it really to be courageous and brave? I don't think that courage is being unafraid. I think courage is being afraid, and having fears, but doing things in spite of them. I think courage is having doubts, but moving beyond them. Maybe sometimes it's braver to cry than to hold everything in. I wrote this a few months ago, but it kind of fits where I'm at now. Hope you like it? (:

Strength

What is it really
To be strong, brave, true?
Is it being what the world wants
Or is it just being you?

Is fearless really
Being completely unafraid
Or is fearless maybe
Being scared, but acting anyway

Maybe it’s stronger
To try love one more time
Than it would be
To just run and hide

Maybe it’s braver
To let out the tears
Than it would be
To keep them in with your fears

Maybe it’s truer
To trust and to hope
To wish on a dream
Instead of worry and mope

Maybe it’s stronger
To fight for what’s right
Again and again and again
Even if you’ve failed fifty times

Maybe it’s braver
To finally let go
Of things you’ve been holding
That left long ago

Maybe it’s truer
To dream bigger dreams
Because you really never know
No matter how it seems

Maybe it’s stronger
To completely fall apart
You never know what will happen
When you show someone your heart

Maybe it’s braver
To accept that you don’t know
To live with the fact
You’ll figure it out as you go

Maybe it’s truer
To accept your mistakes
Then come back even stronger
If that’s what it takes

So what is it really
To be strong, brave, and true?
It isn’t being what the world wants
It’s just being you.

Love,
