A most dreaded fear often approaches
It sets its small feet on this earth
And still its footsteps are powerful
Quelle bizarrerie!
***
You hope to fall asleep at night
Wait, behold that rare sight
Of a creature lurking
Presque un alien.
***
In the morning, you awaken
Bizarre courage strengthens your bones
Even though much has been taken
C’est drôle, n’est-ce pas?
***
You pray it won’t return
Try and focus on what can be won
But it clings to you, a second skin almost
Ce n’est pas un inconnu dans la rue.
***
What do you want to do to stop it?
Can you embrace the stranger
Maybe even forget the oppressing danger
Il habite au fond de toi.
***
Abandon your fears
Silence your hesitations
As not all is worthy of your anticipations
Salue cet étranger.
Il te montrera le chemin.
