An Act of Bravery
An act of bravery
Is painting with every colour that is in your soul
Splashing life on your canvas
Honouring emotions
With no thought of what others will think of your creation
Not TRYING to make it meaningful
Modern, pretty
Commercially viable
ACCEPTABLE
Just bursting out into the greater you
With total trust
An act of bravery
Is living your life through yourself
As yourself
Read the rest of the poem Show less
Creating, expanding
UNAPOLOGETIC
Infusing your joy into everyone
Spreading colour and light
And letting any judgement of you wash away
Like water soluble paint in the rain
Fading and then disappearing completely
Leaving no trace of a blemish
