To be brave
Does not mean to
Fight in wars for the honour of another
To challenge the strong even when you know you are weak
These are not acts of bravery
But are acts of vanity and stupidity
Hoping to have a hollow victory
And the glory of being serenaded by the voices of a thousand dead choirs
To be brave
Is to love even after love caused you pain
To be brave is to follow your heart even if your mind says it's in vain
To keep moving despite carrying the world's weight
It is to live vicariously
The way that you please
To not listen to the voices that haunt you in your dreams
To be brave
Is to be you.
