It takes you in and you are sinking below it

Sometimes the fear of it is worse

So you hide and be silent

And maybe it won’t see you.

You’re eyes are wide

Dare you look up

Maybe it’s best 

To keep busy

Working and working 

So that when it’s near 

You won’t be caught up

Just smile

Don’t let them see the fear in your eyes

Be good they said

And nothing will happen.

But you are good. 

Doing your best.

It’s never good enough.

Just smile she said.

Never let them see your fear.

It doesn’t matter in the end

It doesn’t matter

Just smile
