Courage

The only part of my day
That I look forward to 
Is when I go to bed 
And lay there making up scenarios 
In my head. 

I think of comebacks 
To 8th grade bullies.
I think of witty retorts
To my mother's snide comments. 
I think of intelligent things to add
To conversations I had months ago. 

I think of all the things 
I was too scared to say. 

And in my mind 
I say them. 
And pretend how things would be different
If only I had the courage to speak.
