Legend tells us the strong wield sword and steel,
rescuing the damsel to sit atop the hill.
Society tells us the strong are full of might,
imposing their will to win the loudest fight.
But history tells us the quiet ones hold the strength.
They conquer every battle without help or aid.
They slay the demons of a heavy past,
vanquishing monsters you never knew.
They endure without boasting of hidden conquests,
without recognition or parade.
The only proof of our strength
is that we are sitting
right here.
