Don’t Let It Win

Don’t Let It Win

written by: Jane Bradshaw

 

It dwells
Deep deep down inside
Insidious and evil
Peeking out through slits

Don’t lie awake
But don’t let it in either
Close your heart
Bolt the doors

It’s still there
Pulsing pulsing greedily
Trying to tear the fabric
Between your worlds

Keep moving forward
Don’t let fear dictate
What could be there
Slippery as a snake

It’s getting closer
Bang bang it beats
Against the membranes
That separate you

Underneath your skin
Translucent and pale
Beats the heartbeat
Of a fierce warrior
