Today will be the day
I'll forget my fear
of laughter and scorn
I'll rise above consern
And I'll shout, to world
What I think.

And so I open my mouth
I am not afaid
but
nothing comes out?

This fear that controls me
I'll beat it down!
Or so I say, day after day
but Im too weak.
No, I am strong
Thats what I tell myself
This time I wont back down!
Ya right,
Come on stop telling yourself lies
that you only half believe

Cant you even think truth
Your a coward
Come on cant you fight?
Your just a coward!

Smiling here. I wrote one a couple of years ago
'cowards like me'
but I am not a coward, and neither are you, as it's a brave move to post the poetry of your heart on the internet!

Hey lokiwolf,

I loved this poem by you because I can relate so well to it! I tell myself that I’m a coward all the time that I’ll beat down the fear and be able to make the stand and yet I can’t… I think you described the emotions in this just right, yet all the while having this poem be sort of unique. You talking to you about you, very cool.

This fear that controls me

This is my favorite part I believe, I love how it’s you talking to you, arguing with yourself, contradicting yourself, cause I do that all the time… it’s very cool to see that I’m not the only one out there that talks to themselves… lol

Great write by you, I can’t wait to see more of yours in the near future

A good write. Most enjoyable to read. And remeber you are not a coward, to share your words is an act of courage some never dare... And never be a coward, remember cowards die in shame! Im looking forward to reading more of your work

hells gate reads Abandon hope all ye that enter here
shall we go?
the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Will you walk with me?

On the contrary... To wrestle is to live.  To fight is to love.

God bless,

Beautiful, powerful, merciless. The scent of perfection.

an excellent portrayal of the struggle with one's self...both the courage to change and the doubt that you can.

I have to agree you are not a coward although I can in my own way understand your meaning...its true to post your poetry here shows you are not a coward

Peace and happiness to us all, Venus
