A Coward I Am Not Poem by Scarlet .....
A Coward I Am Not
I know I can’t
make
you stay
but where
is your
heart
You left me
when I needed
you most
why couldn’t you
have just stayed
just to help
if even for
just
one night
I know I could have
tried to fight
to make you
stay
I shouldn't have
to fight
for you to be
at my side
for it makes
me realize
you are not
who I
thought you
were
I no longer
want you
at my side
is it that hard
for you
to understand
I was not
complete
I am now
I am independent
on my own
I am no longer afraid
to walk
this world
alone
I am no longer afraid
to keep living
I am always
awake or afraid
asleep or be dead
I asked you
before
where is you
heart
for mine was
with you
now it is not
I should not have
to fight
to get you
to love me
so now
it is not
you
I want now
at my side
I no longer want
anyone
at my side
I am no longer afraid
to walk this world
alone
I am no longer afraid
to keep living
I must choose
to be
awake or afraid
asleep or be dead
choices such
No longer inclined
to such am I
they are
mine
this is a great poem but some of it is from a song or its a coincidence but enyways its good
I think you have captured beautifully how we have all felt at some point in our lives; well done!
I started to like your poetry. It's as natural as a waterfall from your heart. I love it. I understand your sorrow since I've experienced something similar. I believe you are a strong person and yes you are not a coward at all. The sky will be clear after the rain, U.U.
You are no coward, you face each day with a great deal of courage, not cowardice, i bet your a beautiful person were it counts, let it show, let it come out, no more thoughts of death, you are known, give people a chance and your self a chance to find what it is your looking for, listen to advise from your elders and friends, bring your family into your circle and thrive, O-Ho Osceola.
you are so gifted at poems! I love this one too! This one has really good points! Your other poems have really good points also!
