When I come around
by
Sherene Delgado
I've seen it all before.
You running for the door.
You’ve been living peacefully,
Not having to see me.
A reminder is what you didn’t want to see.
Now don’t be selfish
You knew it would come to this.
You had to see me.
Had to deal with me.
There’s no hiding from me.
As you’ve learned time and again.
There is no time to search the world around,
When I come around.
You ran from the past.
You ran from the future.
When will you stop running,
And deal with what you made of your life.
When will you tire?
When will you grow up and understand?
Life doesn’t stop for you.
Problems don’t go leave if you turn away,
Or close your eyes.
You’ll see,
When I come around.
