sshhhh- can you hear it
listen- I can hear it coming
the creaking of the door
that has been closed for so long.

Hurry,I must hurry
to find the strength
to fight this demon
that has found me once more.

quietly, so cautiously I turn
thinking that I’ll run
trying despartly to hide
No, I will face this fear.

With all the power I have within me
I rush across the space
the space between me and that door
Slam- I did it ! the door remains closed

Exhausted, so tired from this fight
It is a never ending battle
trying to forget
The memory of you.

Open the door, vanquish the demon.  I know it is hard but when you find the strength to do so, you will reap other rewards.  Next time you open the door there could be an angel on the other side. (HUG)  

 Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely.

Personally I would have used the window.  Then went behind them and pushed them in the room. LOL just kiddin... I liked this and I agree with danni on facing fears as such.
