Courage is a distant memory
that not even I have known.
It\'s something far away from me,
it\'s something I\'ll never own.
For when I am approached
with a task that is most daunting,
I retreat back into my shadows
and the thought of said task haunts me.
I have never been bold,
I have never stopped fights,
but as long as I am cowardly,
I can sleep safely at night.
I know I am afraid
and I honestly don\'t care,
for if I ever took a risk,
I\'m not sure how well I\'d fare.
