I wish I was Brave

I wish I was brave

I’m terrified to tell people I’m gay

I’m terrified of being looked down on

I’m terrified of being exposed as a liar

I wish I was brave

I’m terrified of getting close to anyone

I’m terrified that if the world looks at us, I’ll run and hide

I’m terrified that my love can only cause pain

I wish I was brave

I’m terrified of achieving too much

I’m terrified to try for too long

I’m terrified of being seen

I wish I was brave

I’ve been so terrified that I prayed to be cured, when I was not sick

I’ve been so terrified that I became strong enough to hold my self together, now I can’t let go

I no longer wish for a cure,

I no longer wish for strength,

I have only one wish left

I WISH I WAS BRAVE!
