Courage Poems | Examples of Courage Poetry

Deceit's bitter taste lingers like burial rice cooked in familiar space The sharp edge of betrayal cuts deep from within, a wound that never heals Innocence fades like pencil marks erased as life's indelible script unfolds The ground beneath our feet will be our roof a somber truth we cannot escape Loyalty's test lies in water's gentle flow yet...

I remember the first question I never had the courage to speak. I feared I would not receive an answer, and feared even more if I did. words were born from hunger, not from dreams. I had no dreams, only roads walked by others, and I clung to the edge of their shadows, like a child forbidden to ask where is the mother. Wisdom is a...

We walk this earth To find out what it's worth Chasing copper and gold Just watch a journey unfold I soak in the shimmering sea Spread out as if just for me There are heroes we meet And villains we must defeat There are secrets so obvious And truths so deceitfully devious There's value in a smile Even if it's only once in awhile There's pleasure in...

I feel it all.. the highs, the lows.. The silent grief that never shows. I smile like I’ve not seen the fire.. But flames still flicker beneath the wire. I play it cool, a practiced game.. While inside burns a nameless flame. A storm of thoughts, both sharp and deep.. That churns beneath what looks like sleep. I’ve danced through hell at a...

Like sand held in my hand, I know I squeezed too tight, Grain by grain you will drift away, And with wind take flight. I'll keep my hands wide open, I'm stepping to the side, So when you look about you, Your space is open wide....

Redemption untold Lies are never far from fallacy Secrets are never far from power If the soil is polluted The root can’t bring no good tree Their must be a truth untold In a dying world In a world full of wars In a world of turmoil In a land of needs and wants I...

What was that one line story? That my parents told me, What was that one line story? I believe it said, “it’s important to be clean” Stir away your soul, Make your world all your own Serve yourself away, Wipe away the stains from the corner Keep your soul strong And get your in order! Then you are, All baked, All better Then you are, All baked,...

Sian, she sits in a lonely room, Hugging at her knees Should she go to London Town, Or stay where her roads are clean? Sian, she sits on a wooden chair, She falls onto her knees She longs to be in London Town, Where her words aren’t clean She’s let her head go wild, and ride Off into the sun She shakes the dignity from...

Do you still love me Jehovah. If you do, why are my troblems so many. Why are my enemies like the grains of the sand. Why is calamity my predator. I am afraid to chose, to talk, and to act because the repocussion is like an untimely bomb. I chose to serve you, and yet...

Staring at my reflection, In a future projection, Standing at the intersection, Where I change my perception, I see the correction, As I choose my direction, My reflection changes , Their reality rearranges, Only I see the strange synchronicity, Showing me the future that will be. It's fun to secretly see me...

There are things I seek that seem out of my reach But maybe if I take a different path, It would bring me closer to filling the void that I feel in my heart. Sometimes, though, through the deafening noise, I listen to my inner voice that guides me to an untrodden hike… World probably trained me to...

Do not mistake silence for peace, nor obedience for order. A chained heart can smile, but it does not sing. There is a flame born in every soul— not to burn, but to become a lantern. To lead. To warm. To remember the path home. Freedom is not permission. It is not granted by paper or throne. It is the breath between thoughts, the courage to speak when...

At this very moment I realize how much I love you, how amazing you truly are, That you don't want to just say what you mean, That you bleed what you believe, That your heart can't even reach that deep what you feel, You try so hard to show the real, This piece of my heart that never leaves, Because I...

It seems so long since I've seen his face, This is no longer a home, it's just a place. If you could catch it, share it, This one's inner light, it might light the sky On Earth's darkest of nights. It might save all of us, I believe this will happen, And lighten and brighten, God's beautiful canvas. It may be a...
