Have a Word With Yourself Coward

Sit yourself down

And have a good long hard

Word with yourself

You yellow bellied coward

So involved with yourself

You are not the only person

Who has problems

Far greater than you

The only difference is

Unlike you they don't

Wollow in their own self pity

They take it on the chin 

Roll with the punches

And carry on regardless 

Without the theatrical rigmarole

And so should you

If you weren't a superfluous dilettante

Under the totally misguided illusion

The whole world revolves around

You and you alone
