Dreaded Fate

They come and I can feel them

They are there laughing at me

Doing it all behind my back

Never having the courage to face me



So blackness comes, clouds my mind

And my thoughts always go astray

Paranoid I go and hide with my shadow

Wishing they would just go far away



Can they not just leave me all alone

For I have done nothing to do them wrong

I just feel this injustice they give to myself

Dragging me down to be weak, I am no longer strong



So I reach out to you with my open hands

Wondering if with these words I share that you can relate

Hope you will not join with them in their empty laughter

Could you help me to escape from this dreaded fate
