I LOOKED AWAY...

I looked at Death

With a little smile

He had to wait

A long while....

 

I looked at Despair

And turned away

He had no power

To ruin my day...

 

I looked at Anger

He could not imprison me

My mind and soul

Would always be free...

 

I looked at Pity

I wanted no part

Every day to me

Was a new start...

 

And then I decided

One fine day

I would stop looking

And just turn away...

 

None of these demons

Can conquer my soul

I do not need these emotions

I am complete and whole....
