Courage

Courage is to stand up in a crowd and disagree,
Courage is to learn to ditinguish between every degree
Courage is to face death with a smile
Courage is to withstand the pain of a loved one's death.... all through the while
Courage is to see pain and tell yourself you don't feel anything,
Courage is to face a storm and not break anything.
Courage is to understand the nuances and yet agree there exist none,
Courage is to abandon the easy way out and treat complexity as fun.
Courage is to learn to give and not expect anything back
Courage is latent, hidden , it's not showcased in a pack
Courage outdoes fear, Courage makes you a seer,
Courage demands you dry the tear and courage means; in sadness you cheer.
Courage is faith, Courage is integrity,
Courage is oneness even in 'loneliness - infinity'!
Courageous is a child who can stand up and say 'No' to a stranger offering candy,
Courageous is the soul that can decide for oneself,
Courageous is an octogenerian who refuses to be treated though death is certain otherwise.
Courage comes unknowingly if only you let yourself free from fear of the unknown, self doubt and despise!
