Patience is when you carry so much pain inside you, and in front of people you stand smiling. Patience is when your eyes are full of tears and no one notices, because you cry like a little child inside you. Patience is when they throw stones at your feet, and you pretend not to see them. Patience is when they stab you in the back, and you take them out one by one and don't show that it hurts. Patience is when you dream of roses and tread on thorns. Patience is when you know they are lying to you, and you honor them with the truth. Patience is when you hold back, and it could break into pieces. Patience is a characteristic of STRONG souls.
