Bravery


Bravery is in the eye of the beholder
and all I behold is a coward
A red envelope, with a secret letter
Tearing at your paper, with a blinded finger
Tell me dear, does this make you braver?
You hold my head under the water
and drown my heart with the force of your power
But someday, I will learn how to swim
and this whole things will come to an end
You my dear, must be the bravest beholder.
