Ready To Face It

I am ready to face my fear

Bring it here

I am ready for it to stare me right in my face

And write it in ink therefore I can not erase

I have made up myths, lies, and fables

Bring it here

At my tear-stained table

I denied it

I tried my best to hide it

But I am ready

Covered up my frowns with dreams

But I can not understand these things that I dream until I face my fear

I begged you to lie to me

I’ve been obliviously lied to for years

And now I ask you to tell the truth

So I can arise and claim back my youth

Tell me the truth and bring it to the table

Give it to me blunt and bold

I am willing and I am able

I have matured and I am ready to take on the task

There however is one thing I shall ask

And that is to spell it out leaving nothing to question

Give me the riddle and do not leave me guessing

And Death tells me they are gone for eternity

Never to enter this world again

So when you cry at night to bring them back is not going to make you win

However, have faith that their soul rests in heaven

They are gone. They are gone. Now continue with life and let there be no guessing
