"Stranger Within Myself"



This stranger within me, has been buried deep within me for many years. A laugh or a tear has brought this fear. For I fear this stranger inside me.

This stranger is my laughter and my pain. For I never want to feel it's presence ever again. For it brought me many tears and along came with so many fears.

There was a time I swore this stranger off. But, a thought or an emotion has brought it back into my life. For I struggled to fight this off, but this time I don't know if I can tell it to back off!

This stranger feeds on my heartache and pain. And when I feel those emotions again, here comes that stanger in my life once again. I hate this stranger for what it makes me, and for what it does to me. For there are things I cannot even stop me.

This stranger feeds also on my hatered and those who caused me pain. And I hate for this stranger to appear for then I don't feel that I've got my life back again.

The stranger teases and makes me struggle wtih little steps in my journey what we call "Life". This stranger scares me for I am in fear of myself. For this stranger I cannot control and I can never feel whole. For I fear that this stranger inside of me will become once again me.

For the was a time in my life where I did live like the stranger. Filling my life with so much anger. Living day to day, hating each and everyday, while wishing and hoping that the world just fade away. And because of this stranger all my hopes and dreams just faded away like a warm wonderful spring day.

One day I saw this stranger just left and went away, never thought it would only return and try to stay one day. For I fear if the stranger once again tries to stay, for life as I know it will slowly once again fade away...
