Coward

There are people we leave behind

But do we leave them behind

Or do we find some new judgement

As an excuse to make ourselves

Feel better about choices once made

A quilt over our eyes

To show ourselves that we have grown

So we move away from the

Pariahs the outcasts the perverts

That we once knew 

But now with the wool over our eyes

We smile

Saying we do not see those demons anymore

We see only the holiness of our own breath

Look how far we have come

We have come so far

Who else is here

Nobody I see 

This is a strong indication of my growth

The path forward is a lonely one

But is it truly the evolved that leave others behind

Is it the truly evolved who judge from behind 

A curtain of safety and a curtain of distance

We are the worst ones here

We are in denial

And how dare we pretend not to judge others

We are always judging and now we are cowards as well
