Amanda Kinzer Poet Rhyme

Coward

Coward how does that word feel? Go ahead and try it on, wear it around for awhile and let it cast you in the light as the star
Go ahead and accept that reward, the one that you fought so hard for, the one that you cheated and betrayed to get because you don’t need me anymore
See you have no self-esteem, you’re not even a man, how can you look at yourself in the mirror? How do you live with the pain and stand?
You’re egotistical, that is what you are, you think that everyone loves you and you proudly wear those scars

The ones that are fake, that you use as a disguise, just to lure people in so that you can tell all your lies
See you’re a coward, one that has to creep in the night, because you’re not man enough to step out into the daylight, let alone try to make things right
You can’t just let go, you have to have your safety net in place, something to fall back on when everything blows up in your face
See I know all about you, I have seen the coward within, the one who cried to me because he couldn’t be with me ever again

Yes, I know that was all a load of lies that you just concocted for me, you were so happy that we were over all that you felt was relief
And you thought that no one would ever know the sordid secret that we share, well that just shows the coward that you are, because deep down inside you’re scared
Scared of losing everything, that supposedly matters to you, it didn’t seem to matter back then when you were telling me I Love You
So, I know that I am better off, I don’t need someone like you in my life, I am a strong person and I want to do what is right

So, go be the coward that you are and run away with your tail between your legs and hang your head down low, don’t worry your secrets not out, at least not yet, that is for another show.

David Kavanagh September 28, 2020 at 1:06 PM Another scathing attack on this no good man, brilliantly scripted Amanda, I can feel the vehemence in your tone yet it holds a certain gentleness to your character, I enjoyed so much cheers David.
