Take it away
all of it
from me now
l don’t want it
it frightens me
so go!
away from me
far
far
away
from me
in this room
surrounding me
with nothing
but cold
empty
darkness
it creeps up behind me
so unsuspecting
in my worst moments
it’s always there
Leave!
Leave!
Go away!
Why must it
torture me
in my weakest times
in my times of trouble
and despair
it always finds
it’s way here
Let me be alone
by myself
once again
like when
l was small
and had nothing
to fear
in my fathers arms
so close and dear
and you took him
like you threaten to take
me
and sometimes you
are so close l feel
as if you’ve already
taken me
to that
great unknown
but l fight
for l know
that
l am strong
and need to stay
but it’d be so easy
to just let you
in
and take me to my father
where he lies asleep
