Courage

Courage, an act of bravery

Making life-or-death decisions

Jumping into the fire to save someone

Standing for yourself or others

Fighting evil and villains

To save the world

So often we forget about

The everyday courage

The small, unacknowledged sacrifices

The unseen actions of kindness

Helping when the odds are against you

The decision to follow your dreams

The will to face your fears

And look at your reality in all honesty

The courage to change

To face yourself unflinchingly

And take the leap of faith when all you see

Is the depthless abyss

And you’re forced to confront the darkness

Pick yourself up by broken pieces

The tenacity it takes to become whole

Despite the pain and the suffering

To get up after every failure

The fortitude it takes to save yourself

That bravery should be celebrated too

Dedicated to everyone who is suffering in silence in a world that can be too loud and brash
