Courage.
What is courage?
Is it facing your fears
or the child born into a world
where the odds are stacked
against them?
What does
it mean to be brave?
Is it a dictionary definition
or a feeling that pulls inside of you,
demanding every ounce
of your soul?
What is fear?
It is the nagging voice
in the back of your mind,
always questioning every choice,
convinced that you
will fail.
