It Lives, It Waits
-MR, freeverse

Anybody here feel the electricity in the air?
I sense it
Anybody here feel the loneliness within?
I live it
I haven’t got the guts to leave or the determination to stay
Ask yourself ‘what is hell’
I couldn’t see life any other way
Look at the mirror, see your eyes
Does it scare you?
You may never be the same again
Does it faze you?
Hide for now, deal with it later
It can wait
Don’t give in, don’t feed your desires
They can wait
Bury it all in your list of memories
Hear it cry
Convince yourself it’s all over
C’mon…try
Starve the thoughts that once ate YOU up
Challenge the irony
Dig the grave
Cast the stone
Toss it all away
Look in the mirror, now
You’re no longer scared?
Good
You’ve hidden
You didn’t give in
You’re convinced you’ve conquered the pain
So sit back
Ease your worries
Soak up the sun
Don’t get too comfortable, though
Deep within, we all know it’s still there
It lives…
It waits.
