dauntless — a faction that blames cowardice for the destruction of the world, and thus practices bravery
・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚.
the Dauntless run in packs
tattoos snaking down their backs
and piercings which pierce the soul
their calls ring out in the Chicago silence
piercing through the hazy fogI'd love to believe I'd be one of them
zipping off the side of the Hancock building
spiraling into nothingness as I yell in the streetI'd love to believe that fighting
would be almost second nature
and my fingers would find the trigger
as quickly as they find position on my celloI am brave, yes
I am a warrior in an internal battlebut I am brave enough
too scared to jump in Dauntless headquarters
too scared to learn how to shoot a gun
too scared to acknowledge my capabilitiestoo scared to be Dauntless
and perhaps, that invalidates
whatever Dauntless may be inside of me
