I never asked you to visit. ..at least I don’t believe I did
Maybe…I don’t know
It’s so confusingAt any rate, you’re a rude guest
You take my energy,
Rob my sleep, and with a stick
You swirl and distort my dreams
All right; You are here…for now
But understand
There are two places
That are forever off limits
You may not tread on my spirit You may not occupy my soul
I have heard of your visits to others
I know the damage you leave in your path
The wanton disregard for innocence, value and what some would call fairness
Also, I hear that laughter confuses you; that good foods make you feel bad, and
That nothing causes you more distress than an autumn sunset,
The forever blue of a summer sky,
Or the unconditional radiance of a child’s smile
Listen and understand
You might pilfer my closets, empty all the drawers, and trash my house
But there are two places forever off limits
You may not tread on my spirit You may not occupy my soul
Do not mistake my nausea, weakness, and pain as signs of your victory
They are simply small dents in the armor I wear to fight you
Instead, look deeply into my eyes
They will once again remind you that there are two places forever off limits
You must not…
May not…
Will not tread on my spirit
You must not…
May not…
Will not occupy my soul
