I AM A COWARD

Rain from my stormy eyes,
Saying an early 'Goodbye'.
Melting down my face,
Leaving a trail of salty taste.
Pulling out my hair.
"Why do they have to care?!"

I AM A COWARD

Steady, steady.... Breath,
It's not time to leave.
There's no stopping.
Hallowed out and empty,
Time stops,
Stuck in eternity.

I AM A COWARD

Babbling words, only to choke.
Dirt stuck in my throat.
Puffy and red,
Eyes filled with dread....
For days to come.
Heart pounding like a drum,
Almost like a lullaby.
Twinkling from my eyes.
Taking the peace,
Leaving with a fist of anger.
Hitting the ground,
Tears keep falling down.

I AM A COWARD

Falling and hiding,
Pretending and lying,
Running and avoiding.

I AM A COWARD

Caught in the art of depression.
Caught in the past.
Control out of my grasp.
