Quiet Courage

Not giving up

is quiet courage.

No applause.

No spotlight.

Just breath

after breath.

You stand

while hope feels tired.

You choose one more step

when retreat feels logical.

Heroes are not born

during victory.

They are revealed

during delay.

When the road stays hard.

When the answer stays silent.

Not giving up

is choosing faith over evidence.

It is saying,

“I remain.”

And that

is bravery.
