Bravery Takes Courage (yes - you read that right!)
Bravery takes courage.
Bravery is not given.
I start out empty - empty of bravery.
Bravery is not natural,
especially for me.
I learn, learn from others,
that bravery is good.
Bravery leads to new chances.
It leads to places I have never been.
but, I'm easily scared.
It's difficult to be brave.
It's difficult to be vulnerable.
It's difficult to be brave.
I need courage.
I need the strength to be brave.
I need to be strong enough.
Strong enough to take a leap of faith,
into the abyss.
When I open my eyes,
I see new wonders.
I see new sights and sounds.
It is amazing, unlike anything else.
Yes, there are also times,
when I open my eyes, and
I greet failure in the face.
but, once again,
I am brave enough to try again,
and that takes courage.
