The Coward Champ

You’ve probably had brave moments,
like you’ve had plenty of coward ones.
You’ve had achievements,
maybe less
maybe more than your failures.
You’ve highly likely experienced pain and happiness too,
but none of these is enough to make you a “this” or “ that “ now.
You are neither a coward nor a hero.

Maybe you are not as brave as you would like to be,
but you could choose to be so - right now.
You’re not as coward as you fear you may be.
But then again, if you allow room for fear you might
find yourself defeated any moment.

Ask yourself what kind of life you desire,
and how much pain you are willing to take in order to embrace it.
Or you can escape from pain and hopelessly fight with yourself.
Either this or that, life has its neverending, yet bearable pains.
And you will see this..

You’re neither guilty nor innocent.
You can acquit yourself from all your crimes.
You can even commit murder any minute in the shadow of your innocent past.
When you choose to use or hide the power within you,
or even when you’re not aware of your choices,
You will encounter pain and think the happy moments have come to an end.
And you will realise that every pain endured
will make you weak and strong at the same time.


You can rewrite your past should you so desire,
As for your future, you are writing it now anyway.
Just make sure you don’t say “I’ve succeeded”,
as you might not be able to achieve what you have in mind.
Don’t say “I’ve failed” either, cos in fact you may be winning.

Realise that yesterday’s meaning is hidden in today,
And today’s meaning is hidden in you.
Like it or not,you are learning it every day.

The strong is weak; and likewise the weak is strong.
And believe me;
“Everything is possible.”
