Life scares me

Sylver 2004 (Cross river State, ogoja)



Dark reflections on the wall
Horrible sounds down the hall
Hungry dogs breaking chains
Many ghosts in the cloud
Life scares me a lot

Tough thugs in a fight
Having me all 'lone at night
Dreams experienced some snakes
Reality inherited it snares.
In dark I see some walk past
Dressed in black and light-ash
Life infact is my phobia

I've placed an heir to my mares
I've blown an air to my mess
I've bought a suit for my fright
So my foot be heard in the night
I need to live, not be lived.
