I have done it again
I ran away
From fear
From sadness
Far away from the tears

Allow me to be happy
Little one
You’re the only thing
Keeping the monsters at bay
Hardening my spirit
To fight them off

They scream for my happiness
“Give me that!”
“You’re nothing!”
“No one loves you!”
“You should just go die!”
But you calm me
With your sweet charming words
You take me away
From their horrible awful world
And save me
My little teddy bear
