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
