This is Courage, a stupid idea for a poem

This is Courage, a stupid idea for a poem
I laughed, laughed wholeheartedly at the idea
Courage, courage is not something you can grasp
Courage is something invented by people who need
People who need something to hold onto
When everything else disappears, they need
Courage is for people who want something
Anything, to drive away everything that fails their nothing
Abhorring, the very thought, a mental drought, without, I am sure
We would wither and die on the inside, more so than we allude to
Courage, an illusion of magnificent proportion,
Creating a land where the simple addition of a comma can lend
Strange new worlds of significance to the white sheets of paper
Courage is not something that can be stopped or fought
Because Courage can’t be fought
With the same weapons we use against the people we love
When everything disappears and they need
To love they hate what they want they fake for Courage forces
Upon us these blatant untruths
