Within and Without

I still think of bravery
with bruises, blood or broken bones from slogging through mud and wreckage ~
yet fear does not always come with horror and destruction.  

A clutching black hole in the chestfrozen hesitation to proceed, limbs leaden and unwilling to move

Bravery needs a deep breath
Closed eyes, face to the sun
To step away from what causes
Bruises, blood or broken bones

Bravery is within
So the withouts might stay whole

Bravery is within
So, and more importantly, healing can begin.

“Fear cuts deeper than swords.”
~ George R.R.Martin, A Game of Thrones
