Bravery Hurts

A wind shift in the weather A chill running through the spine Frost bitten and paralyzed From the waist up and down To scared to make the first move To afraid of the outcome To fearful to ask that question Heart pumping fast Body frozen stiff Face as red as a cherry I cant i'm to afraid Spirits reverberation Um maybe maybe maybe I can I am brave (asked the question) blank stare emptiness only emptiness now I know the outcome of trying to hard it hurts it screams pains throughout my heart sounds deafening the surrounding atmosphere my only outcome of being brave the result being bravery hurts
