Literature Text
They say that it's cowardly to just run away
They say I'm not brave enough to face the light of day
They ridicule me for choosing not to fight
They laugh as they watch the helpless take flight
But I'm not too afraid to admit I'm afraid
And I'm not going to wait for one to come to my aid
I could wait forever for something that's not gonna come
I would rather take control, even if i have to run.
Fight or flight? i don't want a war.
I'm tired of fighting, i deserve more.
why not slip away? spread out my wings?
Strip the blindfold and gag and allow myself to sing?
To fight always, living fearfully
Seems more of a death than to run and be free
Like a bird I will flee in the dead of night.
I am done with the fight.
I am done with the fright.
Tonight I take flight.

Finally putting up something new.
This is another post-it poem, traveling in my purse for about a month and written in three different colors. hope y'all like it!
And though I think about it, you don't have to worry. I'm not running away.

I was terrified for a second after the last line. But it's good that you're not running away physically. Wonderful poem as always dear.
