Coward

In these silent streets
I feel it pressing down
Crushing the air in my lungs
I cannot breathe

I remember feeling the same
Last time silent silence filled the air
But last time I did not care
Even wehn I felt it's strain

I hid inside the darkest night
And waited for the end to come
But I could not overpower the will
The need to carry on

It strengthened me
It molded me
Even when I did not want it
How much easier it could have been
To smply go and try it

But I am not one for easy things,
Nor am I for hard
But I cannot help the sight of things
Even when I try so hard

For a coward I am
And a coward I will stay
To let the silent streets
Let me slowly walk away
