Coward

A Poem

Poem written about people who landed their last blow and broke our friendship. Picture is off Google, not mine.

If someone's already down,Bleeding out on the ground,You don't land the final blow.You leave them alone.

Landing that final blow,When they can't even protect themselves?That's cowardly.You.You're cowardly.

Beating someone up,Making them stay downLike they're just some dumb dogNot letting them stand up,Not giving them the chanceTo protect themselves for once,

That's cowardly.You.

You're cowardly.

And all those 'friends' of yours,

Standing right behind you

When you beat up the fragile,Just so you can stand your own ground,

They're just as bad as you,

They areCowards.

they're throwing blows emotionally,

No, they don't do it physically,But neither did you (huh?)

Emotional blows hurt as much as,If not more,

Than the physical blows.

But you don't give 'em the chance,Cuz you're a coward, you are.
