Danger is You

Danger is You

A Poem by MaRmAlAdE

 

I had no idea that my life would begin where it ended

 

The face of danger grabbed a hold of me with stealth force

 

It held me prisoner

 

Even so I felt safe in its deadly grip

 

I fought to run

 

Yet, I fought to stay

 

I made it easy for danger to cast its shadow on me

 

It blocked the sunshine

 

It clouded my judgment

 

I thought danger was my friend

 

I didn’t believe danger would deceive me

 

I chose to believe in danger

 

I let danger lie to me

 

I let danger rule me

 

Danger didn’t look like danger but it felt like danger

 

I began to see danger dripping off danger

 

But I didn’t believe it

 

I didn’t want to believe it

 

But danger only became more dangerous

 

Eventually, I turned my back on danger

 

Yet, I kept a piece of danger in my pocket

 

As long as danger was safe in my pocket

 

I thought I had a say in how it affected me

 

One day, I took danger out to play

 

Danger saw this as a weakness

 

Danger thought it could deceive me again

 

Danger said it just wanted to talk

 

So I listened

 

I knew danger was lying yet I listened

 

I listened so much it wouldn’t shut up

 

Danger grabbed a hold of me once again

 

I chose to believe danger was my friend

 

So I was a friend

 

Danger took my friendship

 

Danger didn’t give it back

 

Danger gave me its dangerous time

 

And stole away my worthwhile time

 

I saw that danger was exactly the same danger it had always been

 

Danger had not changed

 

It tried to deceive me

 

But danger couldn’t hide its fangs

 

And danger began to show them all time instead of part of the time

 

When danger realized it became sloppy

 

It tried to catch itself with a lie

 

But it was too late

 


Soon danger fell apart

 

And made it easy for me to walk away

 

Danger followed but I didn’t care

 

Danger couldn’t believe I was leaving

 

Danger tried to argue with me

 

I didn’t argue back

 

I accepted danger for what danger was

 

DANGER

 

Danger saw that I could see through it

 

Danger got scared

 

Danger acted like it wasn’t afraid

 

Danger tried to leave pieces of itself behind

 

I handed the face of danger the piece I had in pocket

 

Danger thanked me

 

Danger left my life

 

Now danger is certain that I am danger

 

AND danger is right….danger better stay the f**k away!

 

Danger is clueless it’s actually danger

 

Danger plays a good victim

 

Danger is full of excuses

 

Danger loves you but can’t love

 

Danger will always come around

 

Danger drags you down

 

Danger loves misery

 

Danger stalks you

 

Danger never learns

 

Danger is Danger! Learn it now and you will be safe!

A the filthy drug habit. That is probably why I quit this page. Cocaine was calling.
