I have to live bravely,
I don't really have a say anymore,
I have chosen this path,
Be it forward or backward.
Am I following my dreams?
I must take every step one at a time.
My quest for courage remains a fight and
I must steel myself when
I am surrounded by foes.
When I’m among friends,
And my soul threatens to fail me,
That’s when I remember I can’t turn back,
I try to swallow my fear.
I want to live bravely.

I want to live bravley,
I try to swallow my fear,
That's when I remember I can't turn back,
And my soul threatens to fail me.
When I'm among friends,
I'm surrounded by foes.
I must steel myself when
My quest for courage remains a fight and
I must take every step one at a time.
Am I following my dreams?
Be it forward or backward,
I have chosen this path,
I don't really have a say anymore.
I have to live bravely.

Vale Perficientur
"My tears need a minute to find the edges of my face. If you'll please excuse me." The sarcasm stabbed into Juliana’s heart. Antonia glared at her from the pit of the Lyceum as her student fought to hold back tears that had nothing to do with the pain in her fingers. “You’re better than this, again.”

I like the subtle difference between want and have in the opening and closing lines, and how the friends and foes lines change as you read up. “And my soul threatens to fail me” is a fantastic line. Good luck in the challenge!👏
