Away With You

by Mrs. KT


I never invited you
Into my world,
Yet, you came
And have long overstayed…
 
I feel you hovering in morn’s misty dawn
I see you lurking in nights’ doorways
I sense you behind my children’s tears
 
Each day you grow larger
With your taunting and
Pompous invectives
 
And I?
I have allowed you to stay
By saying nothing
And cowering under
The weight of your
Supposed power
 
No more.
 
You have caged
My spirit
And soul
For far too long...

I want you gone…
I demand you leave.
 
Your hold over me
Is finished…
 
And so today,
I simply declare:
 
"Away with you, damnable fear!”
 
My life, and
The lives of those
I love and cherish,
Are worth more
Than the weight
And numbing grief
Of your formidable presence.
 
From this moment,
I denounce you
That I may know,
 Once again,
The beauty of life,
The balm of peace
And the beginnings of
Healing quiet…
