Strength
The brick wall slowly curves around the street
Pace by pace I hide as we walk
My shadow never reaches you
No chance of being discovered if I’m quiet
Why do I walk in fear?
Why should I walk covered in sweat?
Is it better to be beaten than to be empty?
A punch feels real
Hiding feels hollow
OMG what do I do?
Your shadow rules my life
You decide where I go and what I do
Only I could give you this power
Only I can take it away
Weeks of planning bring me here
Thoughts of suicide take a back seat
I will not die for your hatred
I will not die for your ignorance
The brick wall curves slowly around the street
I say hi as you come around the corner
Brilliant comment, so insightful and full of feeling
