Brave

“Raise up my fist

- I’m game to take risks;

Brave - bravado’s the fix;

Tame, meek - listlessness quit:

I got sick of it;

The introvert learned that shyness won’t earn

- Scared money burned -

Loose-lead paper won’t taper;

Versification’s league: Major

- Time to record -

Afford to transmit

- In accordance: Admit;

Performance more adequate

- Add sentiments from the pit -

So real and so raw

- The produce fresh-picked,

scanned for bruises and bits:

The product is pure and it’s ready to ship.”
