Personify Cowardice
Emilyz in Long-Form Prose

Strong Grip

He came up to me today while I was presenting

Nagging me and pushing me to fail;

I had to leave the class

His big stature overwhelms me

And I drown in his grip

He follows me from the bus stop

And whispers in my ear until I go crazy

My contentness turns to fear when I see him

And he makes my mind run with anxiety

Every dark room and corner

He appears in front of me

I relax while I am sleeping

Knowing he is locked out of my house

But when my mind wanders to life altering event

Like asking someone out or pursuing a goal

He breaks down the door and robs my house

Leaving me helpless and in his control
