I threw my fist at the desk my face slept on. My face disfigured under the pressure of misery and tears. I speak through teeth. "You run away, because you're a coward." Tears are streaming, unraveling into an ultimate truth. My lungs prepare, taking in all the air around me. The words scrape my throat: "YOU'RE A COWARD!!!" The message echoes through the house. It's empty. It's just her and my hatred. My chin is soaked. My expression falls into a flat frown. The house is engulfed in silence. I am alone.

Coward
I threw my fist at the desk my face slept on. My face disfigured under the pressure of misery and tears. I speak through teeth. "You run away, because you're a coward." Tears are streaming, unraveling into an ultimate truth. My lungs prepare, taking in all the air around me. The words scrape my throat: "YOU'RE A COWARD!!!" The message echoes through the house. It's empty. It's just her and my hatred. My chin is soaked. My expression falls into a flat frown. The house is engulfed in silence. I am alone.
