if/then

if courage
is going somewhere you think you will not leave
then i am only tenacious.
if valor
is facing down your enemies
then i am merely a scrapper.
if bravery
is saying what you think
then i am simply mute.
if wisdom
is knowing when to turn around
then i am rooted to the spot.
if strength
is facing your fears
then i am entirely broken.
and if serenity
is a light in the dark
then i am alone in midnight.
