For a Monday that i want to forget. How is this.?

Question:"coward"

Soft beads of sweat drip off of my face,
An ancient text, some kind of a curse.
Someone near whispers a stormy plea,
Open your eyes, stop, look, and just rest.

The words that appear some cryllic text,
Wisdom revealed by a body of one.
Like my true spirit I set it all free,
Holding you tight, I make one deadly plea.

I lie awake deep in the hot August night,
Dodging my nightmares, to hell with the past
Crossroads and deadends I've faced all alone,
Always fighting myself to prepare for disgrace.

Sometimes I see it deep in my green eyes,
Burdens come back, they've nowhere to hide.
I know where I am and I know where I've been,
My only known companion a reflection of me.

i see what your saying, it's cool . i hate myself too

wow.....you really did let it all out huh? all I'm gonna say is this....
you will not die a lonely man because you have friends all around you and many admirers. you have your internet "bodygaurds" kara and me. these feelings maybe unresolved but for sure you have people that love you.

Maybe it's just because I'm tired, but it all seems scattered. Like it doesn't connect very well. Nice mood though.

To dodge nightmares and say to hell with the past, and to face crossroads and deadends alone does not a coward make. I like this one, but the title is misleading.

BOO!!!!! I scared you didn't I?

'My only known companion a reflection of me' - we can never run and hide from ourselves, can we? Perhaps, for moments, but then we return.
