Courage
What is courage?
It isn’t masking your trembles in smiles.
It isn’t pushing your fears deep down inside you.
It isn’t swallowing back your tears.
It isn’t taking risks without consideration.
It isn’t ignoring danger.
It isn’t refusing to listen.
It isn’t suffering in silence because of your pride.
It isn’t throwing caution down the drain.
It isn’t recklessly charging ahead.
It isn’t turning away from people who need help.
It isn’t choosing to stand alone.
It isn’t striving for only glory and nothing else.
It isn’t denying your mistakes.
It isn’t waving away help when you need it.
It isn’t fighting a losing battle.
It isn’t facing your dragons without fear.
It’s taking a breath and standing even when you might fall/even after you fell.
