The Ephemeral Courage

Breaking the silence

By QudseePublished about a year ago • 1 min read

Fingers fidgeting,

Heart palpitating,

Voice trembling,

And words stuttering-

Yet, she finished her line,

Hoping that soon, all would be fine.

She spoke out against the injustice,

Though it was not her usual practice.

Now, she feels like a bird freed from a cage,

All thanks to ephemeral courage.

About the Creator

Qudsee

I write poetry that cuts through the noise. My words aren't wrapped in complexity; they are meant to be felt, understood, and remembered.

When I'm not lost in poetry, I pen short essays on the everyday truths of life.
