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.
I wrote this for an assignment in my Intro to Creative Writing class this spring (2014).
