Strength?

People keep telling me
You are so strong
Stop it! Stop it!
What is strength
If you have no choice in the matter?
The only other option is death
Sounds more like a coward to me
Fearful to face my sins
Thinking I can redeem myself tomorrow
Hoping the next day is better than this one
Wishing to run the race
Clinging to the grace of God
Every day and every minute

A coward runs aways from things. A coward would choose to give up to death in your situation. You are definitely not that.

I think you are tenacious. You persist against the odds, maintain what you can and seek to live as normal as a life as you can.
