LION OR COWARD
His inner voice growls
Hair stands on edge
Feet shake and tremor
Intestines empty bowels.
Some call him a lion
Others whisper coward
He listens to the voice
He publicly shuns.
He has whispered in fear
Voice chokes in his throat
Some turn a way
Others turn and sneer.
Then one cloudy day
A volcano spout out
No one still got it
And he turned, walked away.
Some call him a lion
Others whisper a coward
He walked away head down
He walked away to his den.

The outer shell and inner self are sometimes two very different things. Inwardly they are scared, whilst outwardly they show a façade of strength and bravery
