Something

We all have "Something" that is scary to us.

there's something after you
you know it's there
but you haven't a clue
why it picked you to scare.

try to run far away
there's no where to go
and it likes to play
laughing and teasing you so.

it raises it's head
blowing it's fire
you wish to be dead
not stuck in a mire.

sometimes it sleeps
everything is calm
then in it creeps
you resite the psalm.

whipping it's tail
it doesn't care
loves when you fail
making you stand bare.

your walls have cracks
some rumbling down
piled up in stacks
you start to drown.

gasping for air
wishing for release
stuck in it's lair
just wanting peace.
