Art Of Courage Poem by Maria Sudibyo

Stubborn will, strong affection
Complete faith, undivided loyalty
Sweet soul, limited time
What drives you to break the barrier?

Undying dream, unyielding hope
Unquenched desire, unstoppable purpose
Whisper of the heart, shout from the crowd
What push you to crawl from the ground?

Caged fear, troubled past
Unshed tear, raging storm
Gritted teeth, bloody sweat
What are you hiding behind those brilliant eyes?

For a better future, for a place called home
For a real truth, for appropriate justice
For a good deed, for surviving life
What do you try to reach with your calloused hands?
