The Brave Coward Inside

Insecure… Need a cure… Need to endure I want to be pure I’m just so unsure Inside, I must endure My words, at times, injure My sins are so impure Mercy makes us feel sure Lured in by the insecurities and pride in the mirror Humility needs to be my inner-tour All my past in a blur… Cowardly bravery is my haunting nightmare… Scared out of wits up in here I shouldn’t have any fear Or shed a single tear Let happiness and hope appear Let the car of time and effort steer Us away from being ran over by negativity ear by ear It’s as if I can’t hear…I need some cheer to get me through many fears I hold on to so dear I see wandering thoughts like a fast-paced deer Throughout the woods of warmth and coldness..much like the river of Aphradere Is there a cure to my present moment?

You may ask me…hm, because I am spiritually in want for more
