Courage


Few show it

taking guts

one needs extras

Be bold

this risk is worth it

till one has it

they are weak

takes true grit

have some nerve

your spine supports

your head held high

you gaze determined 

you voice unwavering

your words strong

your stance sturdy

your punch smooth

your anger steady

your posture still

your sight alert

your expression fierce

your actions justifying 

secure unmoving sock tough

your print lasting

their scar permanent

their memory scarred

their notion blemished

their sense altered

their hate disturbed
