Bravery is not simply,
boldness in front of a mammoth charge.
The last sailor who never leaves,
or a princess screamless at a Rajputani barbecue.

Fear control is not the private property,
of warriors who would have us believe,
that courage is a genie at their whims,
and the rest of us vegetarians must be cowards.

Try living hopelessly isolated
when a hug is all you need - and that is denied.
When it takes the strength of mind and body,
to hold back tears to stop crying alone.

And if you think thats Gandhi in '41 
or some great person fighting some great injustice somewhere,
turn around and I think you will notice,
courage where you least expect it.
