~a Cowards Way~
Two legged dogs came, I fell
Prey, Striking me from every direction
Leaving nothing untouched
I wrote this remembering how I got ambushed when I was little
By these neighborhood girls I once called my friends but when
I found out they were trouble, I pulled away and made new friends
and that didn't sit well with them and they turned on me,and then
one unsuspecting day they showed up at my house, all of them..none
would fight me alone, they all wanted a piece of me and they got it, until
my brother showed up...But that's a whole different story.It just showed me
that not everyone is who they seem to be, they were cowards and from that
moment on, I was careful of how I chose my friends..Thank God after those
teenage years passed things got better...
