The intangible shadows were leering from the darkest cavity
The space , though well-lit was grayed and dull
The invisible paws culling the strength ,void and null
I was slowly succumbing to the depravity.
Something in me nudged me from within
I stood up to face my plight
I was weak , meek to give a fight
Still head held high , to destiny’s chagrin.
I chose to consort with courage
Enslaved by Fear was an abhorrence
My ace weapon being deterrence.
Freedom , I knew was not a mirage
He shrunk , He cowered and went back to His nook
Count on your courage ,that’s all it took .
hey… “fear not ‘fear’, for if you unleash your inner strength, ‘fear’ will fear you”… beautiful post, as usual

I love this. Just as there is no darkness, only absence of light; there is no hate, only absence of love; and there is no fear, only absence of courage. There is no power in darkness, hate, or fear, rather power resides wholly in light, love and courage. And agency gives the choice. I’m glad you chose courage . . .

sometimes that is all it takes…the courage to take a stand for yourself…and they will run off in fear, not used to one willing to stand up to them…

Come on. Our Global Hero Spiderman somehow managed time from shoot to see you. And what you did? You gave a black eye with your courage. Now he is swearing not to come back Kolkata for rest of his shoot on Howrah Bridge. 😀
