Would You Be Brave?

Would you be brave enough to look through these smiles?

To step a little closer, a little nearer, to the abyss behind?

It may be darker, with some brighter specks that may catch your eye.

But will you dare to really wander through the complexity of my mind?

Would you be brave enough to ask more questions?

To get past the how you doing, what’s up- the unnecessary exertion?

It’ll be difficult and hard to swallow, a gutsy move to make.

But are you really ready, to accept the decisions that you’ll take?

Would you be brave enough to then embrace what you found?

The familiar and unfamiliar, the deep and unexplored grounds?

It’ll be an adventure worth living, or a tiresome mountain to climb.

But are you ready to stay, to have faith and be kind?
