for the words that need to be said. 

But, my mouth just won’t open up 

so that I can tell you the truth. 

I’m tired of holding and hiding it inside anymore 

I feel like the unknown is here and I just can’t make sense of what is going on. 

I want to say something but, I just don’t want to step out of line for I need to have a back up plan incase this all goes south. 

I don’t know who or what you thought you were but, today I’m done being silent and trying to play along with you. 

Putting my foot down and just allowing myself to accept that I am not an easy target and I won’t be pushed over and ignored any longer.

Daily Prompt: Brave

I want to be brave like you and take on the world with so much courage

To smile at the people who try to bring me down.

I want to stand up for myself like you do

you don’t let anyone get in your way.

You didn’t become brave because someone told you too

You just did it because you wanted to be strong enough so that nothing could bring you down.

Your smile and strength is one of the things I love about you, but when you showed how it’s not so hard to be brave to that little boy it melted my heart.

And to see that little guy turn around and stand up for himself  it was a sweet moment.
