Coward

Every dream tells me something,

sometimes they predict events,

sometimes they give me insight,

and sometimes they're reminding.

Last night's dream,

reminding.

Reminding me that I am a coward,

I run away from problems,

I run away from confrontation,

I put issues onto others,

because I'm scared,

irresponsible,

and selfish.

I'm simply a coward,

one who writes poetry,

if you can call it that even,

each "poem",

it's just a bottle of my emotions.

I'm simply a coward,

one scared of commitment,

because I can't stay loyal,

my zodiac sign is cancer,

my personality type is INFP,

I'm supposed to be loyal,

but that's wrong.

I'm just a coward,

scared to live,

even after lifting myself out of a pit of darkness.
