High School:  Third Place

 

He Is There

 

He is there inside me

He is listening to my heart beating,

He is creeping up inside of me

I can feel my face heating.

 

His smile scares me,

His laugh can be heard miles away,

Hatred is developing inside me,

The feelings will never go away.

 

Flashbacks fill my mind,

His devilish smile grows wider,

As his evil ways fill my mind,

He tells his companion, “kill her.”

 

Now I get on my knees and plead,

Tears fill my eyes,

My heart tries not to follow the lead

Of the anger deep inside.

 

Something starts to happen then,

Deep inside my soul,

God was then protecting me,

And got it under control.

 

I thank the Lord for protecting me

From the anger I overcame.

I wish now that you could see,

He was protecting me, from me.
