Cover art for Brave lyrics by Sara Bareilles

For me, this song tells me to speak up when injustice happens, to me or to other people.

But it means so much more to me.

"Say what you wanna say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave"

It reminded me, that there are things in my life that I have to tell, that I have to scream out into the world, because they belong to me, they describe who I am and those things are things that I shouldn't have to keep quiet about.

I have to be brave. I am allowed to cut my hair short, despite my grandma's opinion. I am allowed to be non-binary. I am allowed to be all these things that I want to be.

And I want to be brave and I want to be me.

My Interpretation
