Sometimes the biggest act of courage is a small one - Lauren Raffo
>> 20 November 2008
It takes courage
to be yourself
to be different
in the face of
Intolerance
and despite
Prejudice
I takes courage
to drop your defenses
to take off your mask
held back by
Fright
or led by
Compliance
It takes courage
to open up
to let someone in
afraid to get
Hurt
or retained by
Pride
Be brave
a little
every day
Have the courage to
Be you!

So true! It takes a great deal of courage to be one's true self! Well done.
It does take courage to stand up and alone!
I love the idea of being brave a little each day. It's a wonderful proverb.
Such an enriching read! Courage is grown 'a little every day'. I have lived this.
I'm really late getting back to OSI this week - but I'm glad I got to read your poem ful of wisdom!
