Brave

There is nothing more frightening
Than to be brave.
To stand amidst a storm
Thunder and lightening
Heart pounding in your chest
Breath caught in your breast
Holding on
But just barely

You wait for it....
And you wait for it.....

Then like lightening, proceed
Fill your need
You're holding nothing back
Life is an attack
Until finally,
You are freed.
Constraints are gone
You've moved on
No longer a slave
You were finally brave.
