braver
One day I will be braver I will gather the courage within me like sunshine submerged in the heart of small growing green things and let it flow out from me It will guide my footsteps to a steadier, brighter future than my current platitudes One day I will be braver and I will sing the song I've been humming all these years maybe with a dance for accompaniment's sake Letting me breathe for the first time in years a peachy tint to my lungs and my tongue and my lips One day I will be braver and I will open a funny little door and poke my head out, bird like, chick like so I can see the sun and smile at its grace.
