Prior Tribulation Stuffed Down

Always looking back
impending sense
Of being under attack

Living in eternal fear
With questions
But no answer
to who you let near

Afraid of everyone else
but the computer screen
because inadaments
can’t be that mean

And when things don’t seem right
Shut down in side
And turn off the lights


Living with stress
of what happened
It’s awfully sad
even without
a sign of reaction

Living on power save
Except for running for miles
With a pretend badge of brave

Certain it doesn’t ever get worse
But silently anticipate
The end is close

Afraid of death
But don’t care
Because you can’t feel this way
If you’re not there

Never safe
Not even in bed
Although the memories
Might be in your head

Acting like accidents just happen
But certain you cause them
It’s the law of attraction

Wonder why you pulled this card
But don’t care anymore
Because it’s not very hard
To close the door on emotion
The only one left
Is a cause for caution
Of everyone but no one
So your callous costume stays on
And the real you
Who feels
Has been since long gone
