King of the Birds, Lord of the Skies

King of the Birds, Lord of the Skies
Gather ye rose buds while ye may, old time is still a flying;
and this same rose that you see today, tomorrow will be dying.

Right & True?

“If it is not right, do not do it. If it is not true, do not say it.”
- Marcus Aurelius

Dear Marcus,

If what I feel right now is right, why am I not doing it?
If what I know right now is true, why am I not saying it?

I guess I am just afraid... afraid of the consequences of doing & saying it. Someone said that cowards die many times before their death; the truely courageous never tasted death but once. For now, I am a coward.
