COURAGE

It takes courage

To walk

in the opposite direction

That everyone else

seems to be walking

It takes bravery

To ignore

all the signs that say:

DO NOT ENTER!

WRONG WAY!

GO BACK!

NO U-TURNS!

DANGER!

NO TRESPASSING!

But somehow

After facing

The terror

The grief

The pain

The fear

And voices

Of correction

And doubt

I find myself

Not lost

As I imagined

Not alone

As I believed

Or wrong

As I was told

But on the path

Home

Free
