Strength vs. Courage

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 conquer
It takes courage to surrender.

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 friend's 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 love
It takes courage to be loved.

It takes strength to survive
It takes courage to live.
