If I were brave? hm how interesting the way you describe bravery. I found it something that goes through everyones mind. The last line though was quite a poem finale. "A living air of fate.." seems you put bravery up there high. I liked this. Good flow, interesting.

"to transform my being/into piles of dust..." "I would always sing/even when I am voiceless" "merely swallow, breathe/a living air of fate" Every line is so carefully put together, creates so many images. I like this one. Keep writing.

great poem! theres courage and strength in this
