Bravery Poem by Amanda Shelton

Fear can make you stronger or weaker
it's up to you.

I learned, it's okay to not always be okay.

To get through you have to deal with it.

Claim those mountains,
swim the oceans,
learn to fly when you fall
don't stay on your knees.

Fear itself is what holds us back.

The fear of pain rejection as well as the unknown.

It can be a good thing though.

Fear can teach us how to make better decisions.

It's facing fear that builds character.

You are not a failure if you live fearfully,
you are brave for facing it.

A survivor faces fear to build bridges to safety, bravery is on the other side.
