No Guts, No Glory - A Skeletal Lament
Nette Onclaud- DROP THE CLICHE
10 Dec. 2025
I sit uttering the common words,
NO GUTS, NO GLORY, but what of me?
What of the bone, the structure,
The planning for the plot?
Why am I denied recognition
For remaining in the background?
I was still here. It was me. Alas,
No guts. No glory
