Willing Liberates

Who you will be. This is the joy of the mind.
To be what you are to be, that thing that is the part of
you that makes you strive, caused you to survive where
others would long ago have greeted there coffin with open arms.
When you give in to the failure of life, you submit
to the commitment of the cadaver. You must kiss the graves
of the eternity of all that was, until you are not.
This is such a horrible thing compared to the ignorance
of man that must chastise you if you are strong.
Strength, my friend, is for only yourself, strength is
not something that one can give without having. Still,
strength may not be given, only displayed or held.
You must be strong for yourself. In this way they may learn
what it is to be strong for themselves,
