Courage, A Newcomer – Villanelle

Courage, A Newcomer – Villanelle

I am becoming the main character
By reviving myself from the wreckage.
My skin is embalmed with this superpower.

I don’t lock my passion in a chamber
Instead, I give it life and encourage.
I am becoming the main character.

I uncoil and turn into a leader.
I unpack and throw away my past baggage.
My skin is embalmed with this superpower.

I heartily welcome this newcomer.
I wear it as a cloak to prevent damage.
I am becoming the main character.

There’s pain and sweat, but I am an endurer.
I have tied my failures with a bandage.
My skin is embalmed with this superpower.

From a repeat loser to a performer,
I have been through a lot on this pilgrimage.
I am becoming the main character.
My skin is embalmed with this superpower.
