The closer someone is to you, the more potential they have to hurt you. That's one thing I have already known. It's a truth that can never be pushed away or denied. But still people trust and become closer to others. You expect more from people closer to you, be in actions or character.

The burden to be strong for the sake of others. Sometimes being a emotional punching bag yet having to be the pillar of support for others.

Being weakned, hurt, depressed and yet having to hold it all in. I can't show it.

Sometimes I feel like a coward with abilities that most would envy. But deep down I know that strength isn't about physical capabilities but the tenacity to never give up.

That is when all things get tough, never giving up. Even when you become an emotional punching bag for all. Even when you feel depressed, even when you feel a mindless rage taking over, even when you feel like killing everyone including yourself. To just go through it all without throwing in the towel by giving up on yourself or your own life.

Strenght to remember the call to teach, to lead, to guide, to inspire.
