One Brave You.

My friend

My glowing universe friend

I cannot wrap this in cotton wool.

You will never be safe

Not fully, not completely

It’s not how the world works

Especially when you’re used to scanning for danger

Waiting for something to happen

Living self around the other

You will never be safe

Not 100%

And I know you’re gonna hate me for saying this

I heard it all the time

You can always be brave.

Hate having heard it…

Now to embrace it

Now to own it.

You can always have courage, to do , to act, to love, to give

Because that’s who you are

In the midst of danger, that beautiful caring soul

You can always be brave, you will always have strength

For what’s inside you

That care, that love, that dream

Is you, and will always be you

And No-thing can truly hurt you…not there, not deep within

A soul that cannot be damaged

Flickering soul light

You may not ever be safe

But you can be brave

Because that’s about you

That’s what you can do.

Flickering soul candle

God flame burning

Inside you

Brave path making

Universe guiding

One brave you.
