Often, aggression and narcissism masquerade as strength
Always look for the fruit of the tree, there lies the truth
Look, listen and read the signs, for they are always there
There are times when strength is messy
When it faces the darkness bequeathed to it, so long avoided
It laughs at its own faults and takes the lessons
It draws boundaries, in the face of so much pressure to be compliant
Strength knows its own center, and seeks its own equilibrium
It wastes no energy on what it knows is corrupted from within
It protects those who need a hand taking that next step
And honors the Earth
Strength is focused, certain and self-aware, without being self-serving
It balances restraint and action
It shows compassion while never being manipulated
It does not seek perfection, in itself or others
Yet it endures, and overcomes
