Fear not Sadness or Despair

You have haunted my dreams,
Crept up on my downfalls,
Taken shots when I was weak
And even threw me into the fire when sick.


You took away the ones I loved,
Torn from freedom and choice,
Left hating in despair unmoved,


For every lashing for every wrong,
All the tears from a sad song,
Misunderstandings all too plentiful,
My victories decayed as they crumble.  


Feel free to take me to my end,
But never dare to target a friend.
