what she fears

with a spurt of energy she leaves the scene
not wanting any one to know her name
not to place her face with this tragedy
not to put the blame on to her fortune or fame

she hobbles down the alley beyond the streets
looking back to see if anyone is following her
the darkness coming, the air is getting cold
yet what she fears the most is still untold

the dogs let loose, can hear them calling
soon they'll be close enough to smell her
is there somewhere close to hide away
her fear is pumping hard and harder

just what is this situation supposed to teach her
what did you need to learn from your teacher
how to survive here in the darkness believe it
shaking in fear the coldness is creeping

she can hear them scratching at the door
sirens and helicopters all up in her ears
keep her screaming and screaming
rocking back and forth yelling and yelling

"i cant go back... i had to do what i did to get out"
"can't you see what they were doing to me"
"no one to hold... no one to love"
"every day a tragedy...no one would believe"
"they were coming for me...coming for me"

so she let out a scream louder than God
hoping someone would come, but no one would
so she did what she did and ran far away
now they've caught up with her the very next day

"i cant go back... i had to do what i did to get out"
"can't you see what they were doing to me"
"no one to hold... no one to love"
"every day a tragedy...no one would believe"
"they were coming for me...coming for me"
