hanging for too many moments

are you brave?
do you even know?
just what does it mean to be brave?
facing up to challenges,
coping with disaster,
dealing with the inner demons,
doing what others cant,
treading a road never travelledd,
do all these make you brave?

what defines bravery?
is it the medals?
those pieces of gold or silver,
recognising your actions,
acknowledging you bravery.
yet what for?
cos half the time these actions
are done without thought of the rewards.
so is bravery doing the right thing?

bravery is many things.
it is being able to do the perceived wrong.
it is being able to stand up for things no one does.
it is being able to do what's not expected of you.

but most of all,
bravery isnt about facing the cowardly people all around,
but it is facing the cowardly person inside of you.
