FLEE FROM ME

Flee from me, you evil ones
that seek to make me weep-
I walk around on naked foot
while others stalk me out-
I walk around in my darkened room
crying out to you.

I could see the gentle light-
that shines in my darkest nights
I hold no fright...
I would hear the words of the meek
saying, it is okay to weep
in a world that is wild as could be.

Don't look down on yourself-
a soft voice would say;
evil people will always act this way
when you are doing something right
They will do anything to see you fall-
Stand up my child and never give in,
keep hold of your faith to the very end.

when danger is always knocking at the door,
Cry out "Flee from me you evil ones..."
and you will see them run.
Remember they have a past and so do you...
So the past is written and forgiven.

But, some parts of the past is hard to let go
this God knows...
The danger of the lies
that keeps playing on the mind
is the trap of the evil one.
Learn from the pain and dance in the rain
and always know you are never alone.
