Be Brave

I deserve the sadness, don’t I?
Because I can’t pick myself up
I can’t just go and do it
Like a scared, little pup

My dreams are not big
I just want to ride a bike
To feel the wind in my hair
And to do what I actually like

I want to ride far and high
To go to a mountain and beach
Just me on my cycling spree
Somewhere where no one can reach

But I always put myself down
Because everyone thinks I’m mad,
All they say is have a stable job
And you will never be sad

But they are all wrong I know,
Cycling is something that I adore
It’s in under my skin and nails
Rooted deep in my core

One day I’m running away
Far from these doubts and fears
One day I will be strong and brave
And regret all my wasted tears.
