I consumed a small
vial of courage today.
And it got me out of my mind,
my aches
and my bed.
It got me showered,
dressed
and out the door.
It helped me on the bus,
through the rumble of
the exhausted engine.
It deflected the stares from eyes
who seemingly judged.
It placed me at work.
Fuelled me through
the sledgehammer ticks
that echo never ending seconds.
And I eventually find myself home...
So I consumed a small
vial of courage today.
And I'm brave enough
to admit that I'm afraid.
Afraid that I may be running out.
