Strong

Sun, 02/28/2016 - 23:32 -- Cammy

All I need is strength.

 

not the pretty kind, lifting weights

 

not the strong kind, punching face

 

not the weak kind, crying in a friend's arms

 

I need myself.

 

 

I need the trust

 

that comes with a thousand steps in solitude

 

that comes with a solid look, handshake by side

 

I need the confidence

 

I need the truth

 

I need the bravery

 

I need the knowledge

 

I need the courage, to take a step forth in this troublesome world

 

to step forward every day

 

not a step back

 

to look someone in the eye

 

knowing they won’t attack

 

I need the fear

 

the terror

 

the icy chill

 

the grief

 

cause in life I am so naive

 

 

I need the strength

 

to face what’s to come

 

because without it,

 

i’ll be lost before i’m done.
