Bravery


You're brave and I dont think you know that

I honestly believe it too,
I think its brave that you manage to get up in the morning, everyday
Even when your body throbs for a rest and your mind is drained

I think its brave that you keep living
That you keep on pushing, even if you wake up not having a reason
Even if you wake up, just following life

I think its brave that you keep smiling and you keep that mask on
Because you and I both know its easier to smile then to explain your feelings
That is, if you know how to explain them

I know there are days that you feel like you were living in hell,
you feel like giving up but
I think it's brave
that you never do
