The chordate's cordate confusion

i sometimes doubt my classification.
i feel so spineless 
despite every effort to stand my ground
vulnerable as an invertebrate slug
murdered with a little salt.
can i learn to stand up 
or will i forever lie down,
my body torn apart by spring winds?
perhaps i should stop clinging to what i want
and allow someone wiser to give me what i need.
me of little faith!
do i simply need to forget what i know
and let the truth wash over me?
i fear that i cling so hard to what i think i need
i leave no time to think about what i need.

Ostrich

Too afraid to stand and fight; Too much pride to fly away. Cowardice: immobilize Egos lacking skill to play! Games of conflict can’t be played By those afraid to deal a hand. Flightless birds avoid their call Ostriching heads in the sand.  Thanks, Trifecta for the prompt, which requested an animal name be used as a verb. I figured I might as well ignore the dictionary and make my own...flightless birds have always intrigued me, anyhow.
