Untitled
i will encounter a part of you
each and every day
you're in the corner of my eye
though not in my full gaze
you surely are so obvious
you're absorbed through my very skin
i am cursed, not blessed with this
my ultimate power within
i am entitled to some comfort
my mind can't keep you at bay
you seem my only influence
i'm vulnerable in every way
you've made each day a challenge
'cause my inner voice is yours
my survival techniques have weakened
you're an extra daily chore
is it really worth trying
to overcome my fears?
when my imagination plays tricks on me
your image in my mind so clear
i can't stop fearing my fears
like a magnet i am drawn to you
i continue to dream these dreams
but this is not what i would choose
i feel you creeping up on me
ready to make your move
i no longer run, i'm not your prey
but i still seem scared of you
my days are still a challenge
but it's only a matter of time
that i will become much stronger
when i've erased you from my mind
