Cowardice

Note: The line ‘Breaking down the walls you hide behind’ is WHOLLY inspired by the line from Tenth Avenue North’s song “Break Me Down” (Break through these walls I hide behind)…so all acclaim to them J

Awaken sleeping child.
Rise and run,
Run for your life.
Run from all the darkness,
All the hate,
The cold.
Feel the rush,
Of the cold, cold air,
Cutting like a blade –
Sharpened for a fortnight,
Ripping apart your soul,
Breaking down the walls you hide behind.
Run, run,
Feel the rush.
Run away from it all.
You are not a coward.

  1. I love this! "Cutting like a blade - sharpened for a fortnight" very expressive and beautifully written.
