Courage

Only certain people possess the strength to be great Each and everyday you have to unbend what they tried to break. You have to be very aware of what is at stake so you fake your way through because you can't let a hint of the pain escape. It takes a day by day fight and sometimes the inner turmoil starts to boil to the surface. When the doubts come about all you want to do is lay low and off the radar like a hidden criminal but everyone notices. They point you out and quickly collect the amount just so they can step over you and make sure you never amount to anything. It's when your beaten down that it hurts the worse god isn't watching now so that's when the devil lays his curse. All the good fortune disperses and your so low that your plastered to the ground like cement It's after all the pain and the falling down that you find yourself. It's after your been scarred that the courage unfolds and lets itself be known. Now you are whole.
