courage

It takes courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are."
~ e.e. cummings



to move with heart
for the duration of one's life
may be the hardest thing

yet to unveil one's truth
may be the one thing
that brings unfettered joy

it takes courage to know
the difference between
the passing merry-go-round

and the solid, unswerving
simple joy of knowing
one had listened

to her inner voice
sometimes silent, sometimes loud
a voice, tenderly growing
