The Human Condition: Strength

“But brother, how can I stop the hurt that I feel inside?

How do I stay strong when I want to give up?”

“Never give up, or let them see that they can hurt us

we must learn to retain our dignity at all cost

and tightly clutch onto it beyond all else valued

we take it into our hearts and there it begins to grow

greater than any pain we feel from all their abuse!”
