it takes strength to be firm
it takes courage to be gentle
it takes strength to stand guard
it takes courage to let down your guard
it takes strength to be certain
it takes courage to have doubt
it takes strength to fit in
it takes courage to stand out
it takes strength to feel a friends pain
it takes courage to feel your own pain
it takes strength to hide your own pains
it takes courage to show them
it takes strength to endure abuse
it takes courage to stop it
it takes strength to stand alone
it takes courage to lean on another
it takes strength to survive
it takes courage to live
it takes strength to love
it takes courage to be loved
