There are mornings, where if I don’t write what’s waiting, it will continue to sway within me.
Pushing, pulling, and looking for a way to make room. There’s attitude, fear, and control, all of which have caused me to stumble in the past.
The stutter I used, and passed down when I was younger was me – unashamed. Confident in my thoughts and convictions.
I believed wholeheartedly in myself, yet appearing to question my authority to those listening around me. Passed over and rendered entertaining. They didn’t know me very well, did they?
Interesting how I finally feel her again. And she’s amazingly bright and able.
Isn’t it funny?
Bravery appears differently on everyone.

Your strength certainly comes forth when you put pen to paper, and you bring out the strength in us when you do so… there is something special in a soul who understand that “I don’t write what’s waiting, it will continue to sway within me.” I love it that life is this way for some ~ cheers to a beautiful weekend for you.

Mr. Collis, I’ve found that much of what I don’t release into the world continues to spin until I set it free. Your continued support allows the strength I feel to grow. You allow me to me. The power in that is priceless. I appreciate you, Sir.

I think bravery is one of those character traits that appear (and disappear) regularly throughout our lives. Maybe we can call it to the foreground when it’s needed; maybe we surprise ourselves (and others) when it mysteriously seems to come out of nowhere. Regardless, Poetess, it looks good on you!

They didn’t know you. Sometimes, I don’t think we know ourselves. I think the things in life that require us to be brave bring out the bravery that has always been there. The world will just have to deal with the result,
