i really like this poem. It is symbolic to many people's lives today in the
world. People get made fun of, they "feed" off that, and in the end, turn
out of be stronger mentally.

Courage is not facing life in it's succession. Courage is facing the
adversity in that life and overcoming it.
I'll grant no rewards or trophies for the natural course of life and
neither should you.
Courage is facing the unknown with no guide or previous example to follow,
staring it down with determination to not succumb, and coming out- maybe a
little worse for wear, maybe a little better, but being the one who came
out, without a guide or some promise of some comforted end.

This poem is about gaining courage as you get older.Like in the first
stanza it says" The child's first step,
as awesome as an earthquake...or poor or fatty or crazy
and made you into an alien,
you drank their acid
and concealed it."
meaning they called you all sorts of names but you took it in and conceald
it.you started to build courage at a younge age.
At the end it says "when death opens the back door
you'll put on your carpet slippers
and stride out."
meaning one is willing to stand up to death and not be afraid.
