Bravery has many forms and many faces

Bravery to stand up for yourself

Bravery to stand up for what is right

Bravery to jump into the unknown

Bravery to run to the sounds of gunfire rather than away

Bravery doesn’t mean the absence of fear

It is the decision to forge ahead

To not go quietly into the great dark night which claims us all

It is the first step on a long journey

That never ends

It is shouting into the void

Here am I

Send me and I shall go

I will not stop

I will not surrender

I will not give up

I am willing to pay the price

I will fight

I will win

I will survive

I will make a way

Because I will it

I will forge the path I will walk on

I will find the way

I will light the path

So other may follow

I go to prepare a trail for you

I shall take the road less traveled

I will find my own way

For I have a will and I will find a way

I will go where others dare not tread

I will fight for what is mine

None shall stand in my way
