Gutless

Swallow your pride

But take it slow

You might just choke on it

And you wouldn't want to do a thing like that

What's left inside without your words

And fists to hold them up

Can you look at it without rose colored lenses

Doesn't speak too well of you

You crawl to pass their tests

I would like to help you but

I'm not sure who to address

There are so many of you

Used to be just one

Lost you to the other side

To promises of fun

Do you define yourself by some remembered set of empty phrases

Do you question them at all

Is what you do and what you say just following companions

Do you do it from fear of not belonging

I don't condemn you

I know that we've all got to cling to something

To find our way through this life

Just look inside and see if your beliefs have any meaning

Or are they something that you found
