What does it mean to be strong?

Is it to be brave? To place your life at risk? Is strength to throw your life away just to prove your point?

Should I be in pain for my pride? Is that it means to be strong?

I beg for you not to place blame on me, for I am just so in touch with the way I feel, I can not hold back the words I may speak.

So I won’t; I will let them flow from the soul in the more pure form alive. I am strong, but I will not put my life at stake for my pride.

If that is what it means to be strong, I’d want be weak. I would want to lie down and drown in my faults more than I’d want to be strong in that way.
