Coward
Coward
Talk about people behind their backs
Instead of in front of their faces
Spend all your time in a lonely place
Searching for hiding places
Too scared to stand up for yourself
Too proud to depend on others
Too bold to stand beside other people
Too independent to even claim your own brothers
Smile in their face, but laugh behind their backs
Is the way you go on living
Mad if people don’t forgive you with the quickness
Knowing you yourself isn't the least bit forgiving
Too narrow-minded to consider other people's feelings
Too stubborn to admit when you take things too far
Too stupid to think you’re God’s gift to the world
When a coward is what you really are
