Courage

is not

the absence of fear.

Courage

is action despite fear.





Walking up to fear,

Pushing past it

Knocking knees,

Twisted,

Tangled,

Anxious knots.

Yet,

head held high,

you say yes.

You move forward.

Taking action,

you face your fear,

Unflinchingly.

Unstoppable,

you're braver than most

Fierce,

as you stare down fear,

your opposing enemy.

Faltering isn't an option.

Running scared,

Only a slight,

passing thought.

You are courageous

Step by step,

you take ground.

Never let fear win.
