You creep around

this gloomy town


I see you everywhere


Invading all our homes and lives

The cause of every tear


You pollute our minds

You put fear in our hearts

Never showing a bit of remorse


Ravaging

Raging

You don't hold back

You take the world by force


But beside the harm you do to us all

There's something I can't get passed

While some see your face every now and again

Others

You cruelly harass


What did my mom ever do to deserve

Your ugly abrasive embrace


You plague her steps

I can see your scars

I can see you on her face


The fastest man can't outrun you

You beast

The strongest can't fight you off

You infest the sick with your repulsive presence

In their beds

In every cough


You're ruthless

You're reckless

And your reach is worldwide

There's not a soul

That can hide


From the moment we're born

Till the moment we're gone

In the shadows

You surly reside


But even if I again feel your grasp

A hundred times worse then ever before

I won't let you manipulate a moment of mine

I won't live in this fear anymore


They can take my breath away slowly

Within you will find no strife

I'll just look you dead in those cold grim eyes

and say

"You never commanded my life"
