Brave (10/6/15)

Sometimes it is hard to get through the day,
When nothing ever seems to go my way,
And everything I love just goes away,
I just want everything to be okay.
I wake every morning and start anew,
I do everything that I know to do,
Trying every day just to make it through,
Grasping at straws before they are gone, too.
Hoping against hope the tunnel has light,
A drop of hope in the dark of the night,
Waiting for something to make it all right,
Never ready to give up on this fight.
I know in my heart it's me I must save,
No longer allow my fear to enslave,
Take the fear, bury it deep in the grave,
Stand on my feet; show the world that I'm brave.
