What is it to be impowered
to have a spirit that is brave,
take the taken to the grave?
Is it to be a coward
to stand, be still, or stay.
Can one find another way?

If a life is what we save
one's own, anothers, ... yours?
Mountains, valleys, open shores.
Then, truly, it's running brave
even to just walk away
to face fears another day.

One's outlook can be another's expression.

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is nothing. Sometimes not. Who can know, but you?

Thank all of you for the read and comments.

I think that's true. It may just be the time isn't right. Timing isn't always the same for every person, or every situation. I think your right.
