Follow

Where ever you go Whatever corner of this earth Your fears will follow you And the demons you hide Pirouette ahead Tossing your cherished dreams in air All around like confetti In macabre celebrations Faces will manifest In front of your bleary eyes Laughing and mocking Their sing song chants of we told you so As you tread over footsteps left behind By fallen angels eons ago Nightmares played out in High definition color Surround sound repeats the word “no” Ah life so cruel and unkind The same roads with the same dead ends The ubiquitous nimbus of misery Your fears will follow you Like blood thirsty hounds But grit your teeth And clench your fists Wipe clear your eyes Stand tall on twisted feet Your fears follow you Right on your heels But look by your sides To your left and to your right Your courage Follows you too
