Courage Means Balls To Feather the Nest

Courage Means Balls To Feather The Nest Curled up in misery’s orbs under the duvet Out lost cast and below even eider downs scratching Unbelievably lost without the slightest smell of soft caress Reason set in auto pilot in endless loops of mental constriction Anarchy playing hard ball with emotions curve balls straight to bulls’ eye Game over ‘rien ne vas plus’ just one bullet left right and centre with muzzle in sight Ernest plucked up courage and one feather from the quilt and lived on to scribe his story 18th December 2016 Contest: What Courage Means To You

Indeed, that is courage. Crawling out of misery to pen a (last?) story. No idea if this is what you intend it to be, but I am familiar with depression, and this is how it feels to me.
