Dared to Believe

There was a time you stared at your monsters, filled with fear and intimidation. You couldn’t bare to look them in the eye. You saw yourself as unworthy, undeserving, and incapable. The fear was so strong you pleaded with them to let you go. The fear lingered for quite some time, and you allowed them to control you. You saw no way out but to surrender. Then an angel suddenly appeared whispering silently in your ear. The angel said all is well, you’re on the right path, and just continue to persevere. The fear turned into a fuel for courage and boldness, as you went to bed, with the monsters beneath your bed. As you were drifting into sleep, the monsters no longer scared you, as you remembered the whisper in your ear. Every time the monsters tried to wake you, you returned to the whisper in your ear. You then looked at them squared in the eye with no intimidation, just laughter at the fear you gave them. You then said an angel saved my life, and I dared to believe. Danny G.

True Meaning of Courage (Poem)

The most courageous of them all

Is the one

Who declares his faith, 

Despite appearance 

Contradicting his faith. 

The one who perseveres, 

Despite reality pushing him down.   

He seeks compassion, 

Despite the cruelty 

Imprinted in the world.

The most courageous of them all, 

Is the one who declares I can, 

Despite inferiority sneaking up. 

The one who never gave in,

Or forgot who he was

And where he came from.

The most courageous one, is the one 

Who got up,

Despite the pile of brick on his back. 

He remained steadfast, 

Despite the world shaking him up.

He seeks enlightenment,

Despite the darkness in the world. 

He’s the enlightened one, 

Who speaks it into being, 

Then watches the universe

 Manifest it into being.

Always a victor, 

And never underestimating 

His own power.
