Bravery

Sometimes its the smallest things that require the most courage

Bravery

One of the absolute bravest things

I have ever done

Was getting out of bed today

Despite knowing the battle that awaited

I departed from warm blankets

Although my body always quakes

In the

Rush

Rush

Rush

And this

This,

This day will hurt

It almost always…..hurts

I do not lie

To myself

I am still learning to be

Kind to myself

Amazed am I

At how I wear the courage

At how I find my faith

When I have lost it time again

Among the laundry on my floor

So if I had to choose a moment

One that I’d own it

Display it to the world

And say

“ I didn’t let you break me-

Well, at least not all the way.”

It would be

Opening the fraying, wooden door

Of my house

It would be

Stepping out

And leaving.

Sparely and clearly put and full of impact. With no frills, the speaker lets us know exactly how it is to live with pain. The last lines are a veritable definition of courage. Well done.

Thanks so much for the feedback. I wasn't sure if it was too simple, but It seems you thought it worked.
Happy writing :)
