I'm loving this collection by the wonderful Salena Godden. I saw her perform with #neureekie about a decade ago and still remember it! I love this justification for writing about certain other people - if there's ever a poem about you, you know! 😜🤨

Courage is the muscle we use when we speak, if we’re being talked over and told we’re too weak. And when we get weary and when it gets tough, it’s our united courage says Enough is enough. Courage is the muscle we work night and day, to get equal rights to get equal pay. Our blood is taxed our blood is shame, our courage unites us for we all bleed the same. Courage is the muscle we flex when we must, courage is the muscle for truth and for trust. Courage is the muscle we use when we speak, if we’re being walked over and told we’re too weak. And when we get weary we march side by side, 100 years, we’re still marching with courage and with pride.
