you or them

by FireFly - Libra

Its not what you acknowledge-
It’s the fear that hasn’t made a home quite yet-
A lonely, angry place-

I saw it in your wide eyes-

I’ll be there when you drive home-
When the keys shake in your hands-
As you try to open the door-

I will be there when you see them-
Laughing at you-
Pointing there fingers-

Your dignity so easily frayed-

Seized by my whisper of revenge, a penance-
You must one-day deliver-

It can’t be-
It wasn’t supposed to be that way-
It never happened-

Don’t lie to yourself-

Bringing down yourself with the stones they’ve thrown-
Remember to look down-
Those thrown stones-
Are from your hands now-

You must guard yourself with your life-
The time has come-

My words have been told-
In a vision you woke up from last night-
The creature woke up, instead of you-

From now its your or them-

You or them-
