I wander the world of nightmares alone, <br />I step through gates of fear, <br />and into the darkness clear, <br />pain stabs at me with a million knives, <br />but I don't show any signs. <br />And you think of me as 'Being Courageous'! <br /> <br />I swim through the sea of hungered sharks, <br />Each one follows me and awaits my demise, <br />I search for the beautiful One promised to my bride, <br />But the remains of those before me try to blind me! <br />Through this all I show nothing but patience for all to see. <br />And you think of me as 'being courageous'! <br /> <br />I wander this world of nightmares alone, <br />I step through the flaming gates of Fear, <br />and into the darkness clear, <br />pain stabs at me with a million knives, <br />but I don't show any signs. <br />And everyone thinks I'm 'Being Courageous'!<br /><br />Joseph Oliver<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/being-courageous/
