Courage

Courage is getting up, and doing, what needs to be done,

When every fiber of your being, tells you to run.

Courage is owning who you are, and what you’ve done.

Courage is to let yourself be vulnerable, to anyone.

Courage is giving, what may well cost your life.

Courage is facing turmoil, rejection, hatred, and strife.

Courage is living life for a greater cause than just you.

Courage is to stand up, when it really counts, and be true.
