Afraid

Christina K

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.

            for a poem that took no chances. This poet walked through insecurity in strides. From the shaddows came a predator with words...good job great write.
