Too Late: Vol. #2

Just A Little Bit of Bravery

*I'm dedicating this one to Haylee_LB, because she always makes me feel better about myself and my work. I don't know what I'd do without the support and motivation she constantly gives me. So thank you, for everything.

All I do is just get through it

Make it through the bad days

And not let anyone stop me from being me

Just put aside any fears

Of judgements

Doubts

And innocent pain

Let it all slide by

Try to be brave enough to face

The people who matter most

I don’t succeed much most days

I’m not that brave

I don’t speak my feelings directly

But I don’t lose my bravery

I keep putting aside fears

So I can live freely in at least a few aspects of my life

That’s all

Nothing special

Nothing remarkable

And just like the trivial success of mine

So is my modelling

Never did I think of myself as in the spotlight

Of inspirational

Or exceptional

I’m just me

Never the centre of attention

Around others

Yet then, unrequired or even slightly expected

With no reason or motivation of a life-known relationship

I’m told I’m inspirational

I’m the source of someone else’s bravery

And that makes me smile

To be able to think

That maybe the girl

Who just tries to be herself

And do what she believes in

Isn’t all that affectless

That maybe

She actually leaves an impression on others

Without realising it

Positively giving someone the courage to become who they want to be

Isn’t that, after all, the most we could ask for?
