I am a coward
I pretend to be brave
I put on a front, look how mighty I became.
They see me in a positive light, they see me shine,
They don't see the fossils I leave behind.
I can't protect the ones I love,
Because the people I love, don't love each other.
You will never know how it feels,
until you live with them,
See them hate one- another.
It cracks open your heart,
gives you searing pain,
Tell me, whom to protect?
Whom should I defend?
I am coward,
I sit in a shell,
when voices become louder,
In my heart silence descends,
I pull away from reality, push myself deeper inside,
But nobody knows since I am a good actor outside.
I smile like sunshine itself is my moon,
Who would know it hurts and I pray desperately I don't end up like them too.
This path I walk, I will tell you I am terrified,
Despite that, I don't even try.
I wish I had cried.
Can you make out the story behind these words?
