Bravery In One


 

 

It takes a lot

Being able to stand up,

Sleep at night.

Asking

will it be ok?

It takes one

to put two and two

together.

Amy,

a strong participant

as strong as a bull,

lugging the weight of fear.

But it didn’t stop her.

She kept going,

as steady.

She was a beetle,

a backbone so strong,

not letting anything come down on her.

It took one thing

…

Bravery.
