Cowardice

[P3nT4gR4m]

Just who exactly is this creature
posessed of such a self esteem
Just a figment of his own creation
Hiding out inside this dream

How can he take such satisfaction
in the lies he tells himself
Is there no limit to this fantasy
No holding him down to earth.

When he crawls inside his oyster shell
and pulls the covers up past his head
do his demons really disappear
or are they waiting underneath the bed

Does he even need their intervention
or is he capable on his own
of the act of self destruction
til he's left with only flesh and bone

And if the things that hurt can get buried
so deep he'll never know they're there
Does he ever need to feel again
Is that a cross he'll have to bear

Maybe he can run and just keep running
Maybe he can hide inside the light
Maybe live happy ever after
but does he really think it's worth the price?

I read that as a rap, btw.

Very clever.

bump for wordmittens.  Just to say I loved the whole thing, but especially the quoted bit above.
