Courage

There's a ringing in my ears

One that brings me to tears

Forcing me to confront my fears

Like a lamb before the shears

Let me stand in front of peers

Forgetting all the jabbing jeers

From those many past years

My mind will grind its gears

As the impending moment nears

But I will shout as my voice sears

To give life to words like spears

To strike the heart that hears

And relish in its joyous cheers.
