Cowards

“The coward dies a thousand deaths, the brave but one?'
'Of course. Who said it?'
'I don't know.'
'He was probably a coward,' she said. "He knew a great deal about cowards but nothing about the brave. The brave dies perhaps two thousand deaths if he's intelligent. He simply doesn't mention them.”
Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms―

 “When you don't fight your adversary, you become the coward in the sight of animalistic breeds, but they forget that your real strength stays in the whisper of your voice.”
―Michael Bassey Johnson

“If you follow the prescribed way of how people want you to be, then it will be of great relieve if you commit suicide than to be dragged along like a donkey.”
-Michael Bassey Johnson

 “Fear breeds cowardice, and cowardice compels bravery.”
-Ogwo David Emenike

Which one?

Which one will kill me first? Boredom or Cowardice?

I am Myself

I had forgotten something important.
I am not a coward.
I am only myself, no one else.
No need to look so closely at things just to make them unbearable.
I am the Captain of my Soul.
I control my fate; not my environment, not my parents, not my peers, not the places I'm in, not the government. 
Just because there are six billion other people out there, does not mean I am worthless, does not mean I can't make a difference, does not mean I am not myself.
I am myself, and no one else.
I am not a coward.
I am not afraid.
I am not weak.
I am not in doubt.
I am myself, and no one else.

And I am getting back on my feet.
Now.
