Brave

I am not brave.

I hide my face,

instead of fighting,

I run away.

Its not that I don't want to be

where you are

its just I'm more comfortable

watching from afar

I am not brave.

And so I'm here, 

writing this today

trying to say

what I cannot say,

to your face

I cannot be

everything I wish I could be

everything I wish I could say

even though I run away,

Though, in my head, to you I'll stay

And try my best to be

 brave.
