Be Brave
March 9, 2014
The hallowed halls of high school glowing
Something wicked is blowing
Wall-to-wall with anxiety
A nervous flutter
Indecisive clutter
Too scared to mutter
Our real desires
What makes us inspired
What burns in our fires
Worried others will conspire
Longing to…
Express
Confess
Lay to rest
all the lofty expectations
With each thought. Bam.
With each judgment. Slam.
With each limitation. Crash.
With each “no you can’t.” Clang.
A box is built with you in the center
Don’t let them
Confine you
Define you
Refine your passions
Don’t make that grave mistake
Be you. Be Brave.
