Nail In my coffin

Staring down the barrel

aimed directly at my head

finger on the trigger

I let out a shiver

your words like a loaded gun

ready, don't try to outrun

aim, targets have been drawn

bang bang, I'm dead

then it dawns

no wait, I'm still standing, the noise begins to soften

just another nail in my coffin

my grave is still unoccupied

I'm still walking with pride

Rumours, words sent to make me fall

tumours cut from organs internal

using razor blades and hand grenades

laser aimed - tearing to shreds all that remains

Death used weapons to assassinate

aimed to kill but missed, a split second too late

words that grow inside

they growl with hate trying to force me to hide

die or be led to a sea of bad tides

Truth a blur of a story, a lie if you please

a fib that you told with ease

told so often you started to believe

the words you let out so breathlessly

recklessly causing me to become the wreck you see

knives out you tore at my skin

but I blocked each swing

just another nail in my resting place

in this everlasting arms race

With poison you knocked on my door

I unlocked and you did pour

I fell for the deceit

you should have kept a receipt

for the poison was too weak

you can’t stop me when I have words to speak

and I'm still here, just one more nail

in my coffin, the bill in the mail

Just another nail in my coffin, but I’m not inside

I'm walking with a smile wide

for each attack you make

gives me a reason to stay

you see, I was on my last rung, ready to fall

was at rock bottom when you first came to call

but now I'm climbing, and I don't aim to slip

not when I have a head full of words

and a life to live

Thanks For Reading.

Peace & Love.
