Courage is bound by similes galore
With tales of swashbuckling knights and forts to soar
Laden with an immense amount of energy
Everything seems so easy.

Drained as the desert, yet pushing through
Courage is an emotion felt multitude
With a will of the sun, though it might burn
It's an attitude.

Step by step it takes
Tenacity is courage's saving grace
Powerful is the impact it makes
Moral fibre isn't built in a day.

Seeping into the fabric of consciousness
Courage has a way with fearlessness
With honesty by its side
It takes humanity in its stride.

Plucking the wisps of doubts that cloud
Courage defines the presence of clout
Like the sweetness of honey
Courage is me.
