A Challenge To Survive The Night

I hear you but trust me, I don’t believe you

I’ve heard you sprouting poisonous drivel,

Although remember I’m not your insecurities

Nor am I a reflection as you dribble uncivil.

***

Think before you shout more word vomit

Swallow your venomous curses of my life,

You believe you know me, but you don’t

Yet your tongue is sharp, cuts like a knife.

***

There is much you do not know about me

You’ve never walked in my muddy shoes,

I’ve travelled far, been beaten by the best

I’ve devoured demons nastier than you.

***

I’ve run with the wild, the brazenly free

And I have slept with the ghosts of regret,

There’s nothing you can do to break me

I believe you have met your match, I bet.

***

Throw all you have got at me, we will see

I have already befriended loss and pain,

They have become my best of friends

So I’ve nothing to lose but loads to gain.

***

I have untold experience with heartache

In fact I have recently made him my lover,

I promise my strength will surprise you

You will soon learned I am like no other.

***

So please do me a favour, if you so dare

Come creep into my soul, give it a shot,

I challenge you to stay for a sleepover

See if you’ll survive the night, I think not!
