Who am I? (courage version) Poem

Who am I? (courage version)

Who am I ?

who am I
I am someone who struggles
so I question where my courage is at
knowing courage comes when one is that it's peak
Still, nothing comes out, an ounce of what courage felt like dispersed

I am brave-I have courage, I say
but as I turn on my face to look at myself in the mirror, reflection at its peak...
courage fades out, faking it with a smile as wide as the world

Even courage itself is hard to embrace, but even easy to fake

I walked, put my courage jacket on, even if it weights a ton
But what is courage without cowardice or fear, imminent fear...
I feel...- my mouth tasting salty as sweat comes down my forehead-
I let that feeling slide across my shoulder, as my pace quickened
I am courageous, I say barging on, with my brave mask of a face

When suddenly, I stopped-
I looked around and saw, people whose faces-are not covered
Those were faces, normal faces, they didn't have to prove they were brave as if they were living with courage every day, that is when I realized the true essence of courage
I realized who I was, what I was
I am someone, a person whose troubles are with others and not with themselves
So ask again and I'll know for sure
Who am I?
