Choose you
The bravest thing you could do is choosing you. It’ll seem like the isolated island in an ocean A single stroke of light in a silent night Or perhaps a lone warrior against an army Valour lies in still choosing you.

A little ray of sunshine took a form And enticed, dropped by my shore. I’ll brighten up your world within, he said But take me as close you can to your core.
