False Belief

Understand your darkness, let it fade,
For only then is the light displayed.
Greet your nightmares, see them through,
And waking life will come to you.

Release false beliefs, let them depart,
Feel happiness bloom within your heart.
Each truth embraced, each shadow gone,
Your path to joy will lead you on.

Cowardice

Cowardice weaves its clever guise,
Creating shadows where it lies.
New ways to flee, new depths to hide,
Its dance, a maze where fears abide.

But bravery, plain and unrefined,
Knows no cunning, no clever mind.
It strides ahead, through dark or flame,
Unafraid, it stakes its claim.

One bends, one stands, their paths apart—
A timid mind, a fearless heart.

Passion

If you crave it with all your might,
You’ll find a way, both day and night.
But if the fire burns low, subdued,
Excuses rise to shape your mood.

For passion carves the path ahead,
While doubt leaves dreams to rest instead.
So ask your heart, and let it choose—
Will you ignite, or will you lose?
