The Poet Sky

It doesn't take courage to ignore your fears It takes ignorance and arrogance Fear is the natural response to potential harm But no matter how small that harm is Fear can still creep in and take control Hold you in place, stop you from acting Muddle your mind, wipe it clean The simplest acts seem daunting with fear in the equation Like speaking out Saying “hello” or “thank you” Standing up for someone in need Isn't it easier to stay quiet Even when a few simple words could change your life Fear says “it's not worth the price” Unless courage is part of the equation Courage isn't the lack of fear It's telling fear “no” Even when your heart's pounding Your mouth's dry and your head's light When fear tells you what could go wrong Courage looks you in the eye and says “Do it anyway”
