A Brave Girl

A brave girl never cried

she smiled like there was nothing to hide

she followed her dreams

never ripping at the seams

a brave girl brightened everyones day

on a dark night in may

she was no where to be found

for they laid everything she believed in the ground

a smile did shine but it was fake

she seemed fine but her heart did break

never would this brave girl admit

that the pain had hit

silently crying in her room

quietly praying it would be over soon

a brave girl could not break down

so she would fall apart when no one was around

her mother held her tight

and whispered don’t give up the fight

tears ran down a brave face

no longer did she feel disgrace

her heart did ache

her soul did break

“i know i let you down”

she whispered with a frown

“i don’t want to cry

i don’t want to say good-bye.”

a brave girl looked at her mother so unprepared

she said for the first time in her life

“I’m scared.”

I love her because shes a brave girl in pursuit of her dream..✍
