Valour



I am not your inspiration
I do not utter words to live by
I am not a poster plastered on the
Social media wall
Of an online acquaintance
I am not brave
Or strong
Or even big or tall
I am small
I am meek and mild
And weighted down
With the heaviness of the human condition
I am not what you think I am
But I am weak
Not weak in the sense that
I am powerless
Weak in the sense that
The knees of my bees
Go weak in the presence
Of the sun lit glory of every day
The beauty of being vulnerable
The knowledge that
Under the strain of a million heartaches
I'm still here
Blessed are the meek
For they shall inherit the earth
Dont look to me to tell you
How to behave in the shadow of suffering
Dont ask me how to be fearless because I'm full of it
Dont wonder how I fight the good fight
You're already doing it
Know that you're not bigger
Than this world .
Nothing is.
And it will spin and move through the great expanse
Regardless of you
Armed with that knowledge, go and find your peace
Find your reason
Your own path
And walk it
Be your own catalyst for greatness
Dont try to have me galvanize you
Learn how to use your own two feet
And move
