It

---

It's here, it's gone, No wait! It lingers on.
I wish it away, it doesn’t sway.
I close my eyes, it still pries.

It knocks on my door, I try and ignore.
It still persists, oh! I barely can resist.
It’s at the fringe, I so weakly cringe

It enters, flares, hurts, tortures.
I cry, ache, plead, pray.
It breaks, kills, Ah! I am lees.
But,
I rise, fight, no more on knees.

It said “You can’t beat me,
You may be tough”
But, lose it did to me,
Coz I had enough.

It’s over now
But still I shudder,
Not knowing
When it will appear.
May it come again
It can’t hurt me,
Because, my dear! Now I know
It was me.
