COWARD IN MOTION
A coward I scream
Through tears that stream
I can’t see anything else
This was taught to myself
Through yelling and hitting
And beating and spitting
How could I possibly see more
Than a giant, black door
Then one day you walked in
And you explained of my sin
You said it wasn’t my fault
Told me to stop and to halt
The negativity you say
Is keeping the spirit away
It took days and weeks
Until the venom did leak
It ran down my face
It spewed all over the place
Then one day I looked in the mirror
I was shocked with no fear
I saw a beautiful kitten
So wonderfully smitten
I learned I still had the fight
A strength to build up my life
I saw nothing but peace
I had a new life and lease
If it were not for you
Seeing my life through and through
I would still be crying those tears
And living solely in fear.
