Strength

Strength is through
Conquering our darkness
Conquering our demons
Conquering our fears
Strength is not acquired
Easily or through comfort
It is not pleasantly won
It is not a pageant or gift
It is the deep, hard and difficult
Soul grinding efforts
We make through the abyss
Through the darkest of nights
It is a blessing and a curse
For the blessing can make us stronger and kinder
The curse can make us harder and cynical
We choose the outcome every time
For strength requires courage
To face our fears and have faith
To face down our demons and win
To face our darkness and shine through
For strength requires hope
That we are stronger than we realise
That we have a future to fight for
That we are capable of overcoming challenges
For strength requires love
Love for, and acceptance of, ourselves
Love and respect for our family and friends
Love and compassion for all life and freedom
Strength is through
Nurturing ourselves
Healing ourselves
Embracing our divinity
Strength is acquired
Through consistent effort
By allowing our light to illuminate our souls
By believing in the unseen powers of the Universe
To believe takes strength and courage
And strength is hard won belief
Faith over fear; Light over Dark
The power of Angels over Demons
Strength is acquired through
The good and bad
It is up to us to choose how we use it
And who we will become
