Strangers Knocking

October 1, 2017
Strangers knocking at my door
Tears falling to the floor
Because I know who they came for
 
Why is it tempting to ignore
The strangers knocking on the door
With tears falling to the floor
And I fighting an internal war
Because I know who they came for
 
Strangers knock once more
I slowly open the heavy door 
And inside the strangers pour
So easy for them to ignore
The tears falling to the floor
I stand fighting the internal war
As I hold in my groaning roar
Because I know who they came for
 
I don't want this anymore
