Courage

What of courage?

It seems valiant, bold

The very mention of it will instill some hope in the hearts of the uncertain

But what is it really?

False bravery?

Foolish impulses?

Confused actions?

The true meaning lies in the heart of the holder, not in those of the ones who witness them

Fire may spread

Many may die

Yet, courage’s meaning remains its own

White may fade to black

Corpses may rot away

The true and untrue will reveal themselves never to have existed at all
