I don't think that bravery is about skin. Bravery is about a willingness to show emotional need.

Peaceful Warrior
His bravery is marked on the tablets in spiritual heaven,
Same ways are propounded so moderately.
The three ways are set to prosper:
Bravery, courage and valour.
This will be physically greater than the angels
That swerve their flight in divine fashion.
I own this kingdom with angels
Like a warrior superior to their rank and file.
My bravery is like his, the bravery is like his,
We are in luck so well, with this bravery.
Our souls stain the skies with blood,
And this is a red substance like the sunset,
Like the sunrise when luck is at your window.

Bravery defined
What is bravery?
To hunt a tiger,
To win a battle,
To kill an enemy
Or to face a danger?
The bravery is
To confess the truth,
To repent for the sin,
To accept the ignorance
And to reap punishment.
The bravery is
To win within
And not to win without.

Brave Sword
By bravery we subdue the brilliance
Of an enemy with a sling;
O the enchantment that bravery brings,
Promises are made on the mast.
Concerns creep to wander with lust,
Bravery derides the normal quest.
That it is from the strength of the heart.
The strong heart must be brave and gallant,
Like Fancy itself, the real pleasures that await.
Love and bravery are doubled when struck
By the sword, steel in its grip and material.

There Is Such A Thing
There is such a thing as bravery.
That would be me.
But still I quake in my boots.
Acting cool.
There is such a thing as honesty
But you have to have bravery
To wield it
There is such a thing as
Knowledge of Self
But you have to brandish honesty
To learn it
There is such a thing as peace
But you have to Know your Self
To find it
There is such a thing as Happiness
But you have to find Peace
To embrace it
There is such a thing as Fear
But if you’ve found your bravery
You can stare it down
Quaking in your boots

Not My Trait
My mother, whose courage was like a rock
always mystified me.
She took that grit and bravery
that was always she.
And I who idolized that treasure
always and ever knew
that I had not inherited that trait
no matter what I do.
I shrink from the smallest trouble.
I cringe from the tiniest fear.
Oh mother, why did you not leave to me
a little bravery here?

Loyalty and devotion lead to bravery. Bravery leads to the spirit of self-sacrifice. The spirit of self-sacrifice creates trust in the power of love.

Ch 02 The Morals Of Dervishes Story 49
A sage having been asked whether liberality or bravery is better replied: ‘He who possesses liberality needs no bravery.’
It is written on the tomb of Behram Gur:
‘A liberal hand is better than a strong arm.’
Hatim Tai has passed away but for ever
His high name will remain celebrated for beneficence.
Set aside the zekat from thy property because the exuberant vines
When pruned by the vintner will yield more grapes.
In a Constant Model Mode
There is quite a difference between,
The marketing of propaganda to hype...
And that which is known,
To be daily visualized and seen.
Depicted by those in a constant model mode,
Doing their best sterotype routines!
Bravery comes from a commitment.
To be seldom inflicted through indoctrination.
And if this kind of bravery was effective...
More of it would be shown on the scene,
Instead of witnessing the power of it,
Toggled through a video game.
Or on a wide screen in 3-D!

I Am Wondering
I am wondering
I am thinking about age and the might of death
As the gates of heaven have opened today. Crawling
On the floor of the heavens, babies once adults
On this world, share spaces with heavenly people,
Heavenly people, heavenly people;
How is the bravery shown?
Due to bravery and courage
The Goliath fell with the slingshot,
And David is found in the heavens
With gigantic angels of gleaming purity.

What's Courage
Here's a question thats always on the back of your mind
With an answer that's nearly impossible to find
What is courage?
People often mistake courage for bravery
Like someone that looks like a celebrity
Bravery is having little or no fear
Like a dying person who knows the end is near
Courage is overcoming what makes you tremble and shiver
Like knowing you might die but still donating your liver
But courage wouldn't exist without fear
Like intoxication wouldn't exist without beer
So I guess the true question is clear
Not what is courage, but what is fear

Thick skins
A scar for the scar is bravery.
To ignore a scar is chivalry.
To forgive it is exemplary.
Then, you must have a thick skin
To be branded a coward.

A Little Son's Promise
As i was wheeled to the operating room
His little voice still lingered in my ears
The anesthesia was successfully done
And before i went into a deep sleep
I can still see his face in the waiting room
Worried, with tears in his eyes
But showed his bravery for me
We were alone in my hospital bed
Waiting for the doctors to come
I was having a miscarriage
Nervous and fear painted my face
My little boy was holding my hands
Touching my head, stroking my hair
With his soft voice, he whispered
'Don't be afraid, I am here,
I will take care of you, Mama
This promise of a little boy
Kept me going throughout my ordeal
He did touch my heart
And i was moved to tears
Knowing that in his innocent ways
He showed his bravery that night
And promised me
That everything will be alright

I Am 'First' A Human Being
I had walked around for decades,
Feeling and shouldering emotional pain.
When I decided I had nothing to gain...
By accepting this as an invitation,
To prove I could endure...
With a strength to regard as bravery?
No one had to point out to me,
Just how crazy this was.
I am 'first' a human being!
And I no longer have to adapt to that fact.
To me that has been shown.
And to others I make that known!
I am 'first' a human being!
Any other layers some choose to address...
I have learned to let it be expressed.
But to cause me stress to stay to become effective?
No.
These days I do not live in those times.

Soldier Me
I want someone to soldier me.
And protect my nights,
With the ammunition of love.
No one dared or could penetrate.
With a sheltering of my wants and needs,
Relieved of fear or mystery of feedback static.
I want someone to soldier me,
As if contracted to reveal bravery.
Enough to know I am tough as they can be.
And standing up faithfully to deliver unbelievable,
Devotion!
I want someone to soldier me.
With a sheltering of my wants and needs.
Relieved of fear or mystery of feedback static.
To ask.
To tell.
And be given,
Passion.
Seen, felt and uncamouflaged in action!
I want someone to soldier me,
As if contracted to reveal a bravery uncommon...
To capture the wishes of my submissiveness.
And piercing through armor to find me tender!
I want to be bare,
There...
Held and in a hold patrolled.
