courage.

i don’t have the courage i once had,
nor the abilities i once felt comfortable with.
i have lost some of those qualities;
occasionally, i even miss them.

now i have more time,
more peace,
more heart,
more patience,
and more tolerance.

now, i am more comfortable in my skin,
in my life,

and with my courage.
