Courage Poem by Nayhi Nada

It takes courage
To stand up for yourself
It takes courage
To face life's storms alone
To walk in the dark
To fight your inner demons
If you think deeply
You don't need money
You don't need power
You don't need others approval
Sometimes all you need
A small dose of insane courage
The courage to heal
The courage to say no
The courage to take that first step
Into the unknown
And never look back
Because far away a voice is calling
And you are strong enough
To shout out loud
Goodbye doubts
Goodbye fear
For now I'm free
I refuse to be a victim
Then a serious voice
Comes from nowhere
Today is yours to win or lose
Stand up and fight
Wear a terrific smile
That makes your eyes glow
Dust off your shoulders
And shout out loud
O life! I am stronger than you think
And I'm responsible for my fate
Because I have faith in GOD
And I trust my gut
