what is it

to be brave

is it something 

I know

something I've always

known


Or not at all


is it brave

to get up 

after a lifetime

of falling down


a lifetime of

no's

and go's

never being 

enough


and still giving

love

when none

was given


is that brave?

or is it like 

they say


is it  just sad

naive?

to have a

heart

strong and

brave enough 

to love so openly?


don't be fooled

that is one of the purest

forms of

being brave

there is


so stand tall

for the one's that

can't

grow bitter

and throw their

stone


to make you

like them

Broken and fearful

wishing to be a little 

more like they were

before
