Gutless

By Eagle

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I once was wild But now I'm tamed I was a child I grew up lame It was too bad It took more than I had Sometimes I want to scream and cuss I'm just too gutless Nodoby noticed the part I played The cast was far too big I duck and hide in the shade I cover my real hair with a wig I'll won't stand my ground I listen to the voices all around I don't even try to get a world in I feel as though I'm living in sin My passions have always left me alone All the time I've tried to say I'm sorry For all the sins I cannot atone Afraid and silent is how I'll always be. I use to think this road was rock steady Now our load is far too heavy My face is covered in darkness I'm just so gutless I just want to scream and cuss I just want to hurry and rush I just never want to hush Even though I'm so gutless Written January 24th, 2002 © on Jan 24 2002 02:01 PM PST   20 • 0 • 10
