  1. ummmmmmm….. I love this word because it describes most men in our society because they’re to afraid of a really good woman.

  2. The cowards stood on the precipice of the volcano. He looked down into the maw, as it grumbled low and omniously. I couldn’t believe that once I was considered a coward, now standing there, waiting for the fates to decide how I would end. Now it’s time to make a decision. I jumped, no longer coward, freed and justified in my own abandon.

  3. I am a coward. I am too scared to tell the boy I love how much I really love him. I don’t want to lose him. I don’t know what I’m afraid of. I start to think he deserves better, and he probably does, but he’s liked me for four years and after two years of not talking to him I finally love him, and I know I’m wrong when I say he’ll figure out he deserves so much better than me. that’s what makes me a coward. I want to date him, but I get uneasy and nervous and everyone tells me to just go for it but I just.. don’t. That’s what makes me a coward.

  4. I have been a coward in many situations. I no longer want to feel fear enough to where it stunts my growth and movement. Cowards never prosper. I need to learn to face things head on. I need to develop a sense of self and strength that way when I feel like a coward I can stand up and handle it.

  5. run you coward. git the hell outta here. if you can’t handle this then run. don’t stand up, don’t say you got it if you ain’t got it. stop.

  6. to be a coward is perhaps more common that you might think. How many of us truly take the step, that jump, that leap forward that life demands of us? How many of us, when opportunity comes, prefer to stay in our shells, to live our lives as we have always lived them. I am not a Napoleon.

  7. Oh, that’s me.
    That’s something I know.
    The train track. I was a conductor for only a few weeks. And it kept happening. These beautiful women tied to the tracks, I honked my horn, but no one came to rescue them.

    Ugh. You can’t imagine. I thought, what cowards, where are all the heroes?

    Then, realization, what the heck was I doing to save these beautiful women?

  8. My palms sweat, and I feel them getting colder and colder by the second. I cannot back down. I promised I would go through with this, and only a coward doesn’t live up to his word. I refuse to be a coward. I refuse to let my fears take grip of me, and I refuse to stay under it’s grasp. I am not a coward, I am free.

  9. cowards. worthless people that back out at the last minute. disappoint people and cause more problems than fixing them. why run away from something that could change your life? i suppose cowards will never find out, since they bail. a coward is a coward.

  10. Taylor crying about everything.

  11. What is bravery anyway? Because if you rush madly into a fight, that could very easily be stupidity. And no one likes to think that brave people are stupid, and no one likes to think that cowards are smart. But maybe that’s the way it is…

  12. “COWARD!” Jason bellowed at the top of his voice. “YOU COWARD, TURN AND FIGHT ME! TURN AND FIGHT!”

    “Jason, you have to listen to me!” Henry implored, desperately parrying his friend’s impassioned blows. “I didn’t kill Belle, all right? You have to believe me!”

  13. some people have no idea how to treat others. they run away and pretend a problem isn’t there so they don’t have to face it. they just act like nothing is wrong and if they ignore it, it’ll go away. that’s not the case. you have to deal with your problems. not run from them. that’s what a coward does.

  14. why cant i be brave for once in my life? i have everything and everyone.. all but one. and he was the one who said he was not scared and that i could never convince him not to love me. and he said he wouldnt hurt me. he said that i would never have to be scared again. but he was a coward. a coward like me

  15. You told me I was a coward as I stood in your doorway. I knew it was over without the final blow, it was in that moment I felt my heartbreak. The world stood still and quite and in that moment I heard it snap. It was quiet and crisp, like a flower stem.

  16. someone who forsakes friends, love, and duty in the face of fear. they lack courage and cannot sympathize with a nobility and boldness

  17. There was a dirty little coward who shot Mr. Howard, and laid poor Jesse in his grave. That’s how the song goes, anyway. My mother, who lived back then, told the story differently.

    by Kim on 02.09.2011
  18. the song… hang me up to dry, i’m pearly like the wh wh whites of your eyes by cold war kids… I’m a coward but i got close enough to see his eyes and now i know he’s afraid too. he just hides it better.

  19. Were… off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of oz!!! When Coward comes to mind, my thoughts cultivate into the childhood love of mine called the wizard of Oz!! Tin Man was always my favorite, but the cowardly lion had a heart of gold!

  20. Yes, I am. It has taken me many years to get here but here I am. Through great effort and with LOTS of help I am here.

  21. He looked at me with that face and I could just tell. He wasn’t going to do it. Why did we come all this way. I overlooked the crest and the deep lake beneath it. I sighed as he stared back at me expectantly.

    “Why not?” I asked him cautiously.

  22. Coward… Noel Coward… Mini Coopers.

    That’s all I got.

  23. Thinking of all those people who are afraid for the wrong reasons. Marie Curie said nothing is to feared, it’s only to be understood. I think sometimes we fear things because others do, not because it’s the right approach for us.

  24. you are a coward. you live through everyone else. you don’t believe in yourself. you think you will fail and you never try because of it. this is the worst type of coward, the one that you are. you fear everything but your uncertain death. are you always so afraid? terrified i will leave you standing alone?

    by Aimee on 02.09.2011
  25. I thought I was a coward before last year. Then I became strong, and now I am stronger yet. I do not cower anymore–I stand tall, unafraid of what people may think of me. I am me, and I am no coward.

    by Meredith K on 02.09.2011
  26. he was a coward. he was so scared to be with her. he was scared to let his feelings out, to let himself be vulnerable. She couldnt believe he was such a coward. how could he be so afraid to really let his feelings show. Maybe he was scared to lose her, to lose himself, afraid to love unconditionally and scare himself.

  27. i think i’m being cowardly. i refuse to allow myself the things i want. or perhaps i am shying away, not giving into temptations that i know better. i am too responsible for my own good, and i am both grateful for that but also scorn it at the same time. i dont want to be a coward. i want to live every moment and embrace all my choices, good or bad.

  28. don’t understand principles.
    the power of principles solves cowardice
    solving cowardice improves individuals and thereby, the world
    I want to improve the world

  29. “You coward! Own up to your faults and face the consequences!” She screamed at him, and threw her wedding ring at his face. “It’s over!”
    Stunned, the mad stood there with the ring in his hand as he watched her slam the door behind her.
    I guess the coward always loses, doesn’t he?

  30. you are so afraid. how could you be such a coward. you need to buckle down and be a man. there is no such thing as failure. Bravery is for those who will survive. There is nothing that can be forgotten, except fear. You are not to go back, you have to push on and get over those insecurities you face everyday.

  31. Coward. That’s what I called him in the middle of it all. To be fair, it was completely true. It might not have been right, or nice to say. It might not have been a lot of things. But it was definitely true. All I did was call him out on it. Coward.

  33. A coward. Thats what bullies are, though they claim that those they torment are the cowards for wanting to do the right thing. Like the bullies who wont allow women to truly be equal.

  34. Weak, fear, traitor, can’t be trusted. Can’t be counted on, will not have your back during time of crisis. Worse than the enemy. Must be eradicated from existence. w

  35. i’m a coward, a bloody coward, because i did the hard thing. I did what I could rationalize was the best thing, but really it was just easy. cowardly. cowardly to leave. cowardly to stay. I will always always be a coward. there’s no way out of it.

  37. From day to day life
    He never changes
    Always the same
    Scared, alone coward
    Never at peace
    Never sane
    Never in his right mind
    Poor, sad boy
    Not knowing what to do…
    Poor little coward…

  38. “You’re such a coward,” she said, so sharply it could have cut him. He didn’t bleed, though, so he thought he was okay. But he wasn’t. Because the thing of it was, she was right, and he knew that. It didn’t make it hurt any less.

  39. You’re such a coward. Put the damn gun down. I know it hurts. But it will only make you stronger. If you can get through this, you’ll be able to make it through everything. But you have to put the gun down first.

  40. Lies are a clear sign of fear. To fear is to coward against your own judgment. Own up to it and the need to lie will disappear. ABRA CADABRA! Take that Dorothy!!
