Coward.
I hate that word.
It sounds so ugly.
So brash and it
doesn't flow with
anything.

But it's what I am
when I type words
asking or telling
and then watch them
disappear as I
delete them off
of the screen.

Would I hate myself
less if I just let
all of my words
flow out instead of
holding them back?
Or would that be worse?
To have everything
said, everything told.
Maybe not understood,
but out there.
