adjective
2.
informal
cowardly.
"he'd better get back there quick and prove he's not yellow"


yellow: i'm only a coward

i feel so giddy,
but it sure is a pity,
that not everyone appreciates me.
i feel locked in, i would need a key.
i'm a locked in object, no one cares,
'you aren't like candy and teddy bears,'
they shrieked out.
however, i was aware without a doubt.
few people enjoy me.
i'm only a burden to them.
i'm only a coward,
i'm supposed to show joy,
though, i feel like a beat up toy.
they don't treat me right,
i just want to feel nice and tight,
as a kid does when they're all tucked in bed.
i'm only a coward,
i just feel so yellow.
