Courage

by Harshita Das aged 11

Courage is not about
Not being scared
Only fools are not scared

Courage is not about
Recklessly risking everything
For a cause
That will help no one

Courage is not about
Being merciless
To your inferiors

Courage is not about
Power
For although you hold power
Against the weak
For you are still powerless
In front of your superiors

Courage is about
Being terrified
But not showing it
Being there to lead
Being strong
Even when you feel like giving up
