trying out bravery

She didn’t know what bravery was.

She followed every rule, and kept her head down.

Then one day she was awakened.

A light peaked through to the darkest place of her soul,

And she touched something that wasn’t there before.

What was this freedom?

Assuming strength would come right away,

She was let down again and again.

She fought, but she failed.

So she followed every rule, and kept her head down.

This time it was sadder because she saw what she was doing.

She saw what she was missing.

Now she’s done. No more.

Head up, shoulders back.

Come fear, come enemy.

You will not win.
