Brave

Give me the strength to experience these opportunities

I'm tired and shaking

And please

Give me courage to live

To feel alive

And thrive

And feel secure

And at ease

Please

I'm doing all I can,

And I so want to feel enough

Please, heal my mind

To see who I am

And that I am wonderful

And great

I've overcome obstacles, and have improved greatly,

Help heal my mind from being a bystander, from being a witness and victim of the cruelties and turmoil.

Please heal me again

As you do

And so I don't feel alone right now, so it's easier to live.

Please, and thank you.
