The Mole

Going to need a moment

To step back from life today.

May have got a fever,

Been sick too long to say.

Brother’s coming over

Worried for me if I stay

In my room any longer.

Just leave me in my decay.

How do I shake myself

And dry up all the pain?

Need to just man up-

There’s nothing left to blame.

Someone show me friendship,

So I can do the same

And remind me that I’m human

So I’ll come out again.

Going to need an answer

To all the prayers I made.

Need it for my daughter-

She cannot see me fade.

Need to be a little stronger

For just a few more days.

Focus on my family –

God I’m scared to be afraid.
