Bravery
didn't come easily to her
she could see
every reason to
not be brave
bravery
wast the last plan
the last option
that she would take

she wished
she could be done
searching
and wondering
if she chose correctly
or if she
was going the wrong way
she just wished
she could find
her path
her right way

she swallowed her sadness
she told herself
that it was her fault
so why was she sad
it was her own doing
so why was she sad

Frequently
she forgot about herself
the things she needed
barely even occurred to her
Instead of herself
she remembered
for other people
and there needs
it's as if
she didn't matter to herself
at all

When she felt
she felt strongly
those emotions
and feelings
tightly wound
cut the wrong cord
and her whole world
will shake

She just wished
that she could fly
she could just
grow wings
and soar high
above her problems
and her life
fly away to
a place that
took her away
