Kori Stricker

I'll creep up on you when you least expect it....

I don't ask, let you know I'm coming,
or care who you wish to be involved....

The people I pick for you are most of the time wrong;
wrong people, wrong timing....

I don't care if you get hurt
and I don't care if you hurt others for me....

I'll get in your head
no matter how hard you try not to let me....

You fight me
and I'll just fight you harder....

I like to aim for the "good people",
because they trust in me more....

But I don't have any regrets when I hurt you;
I just sit around waiting to do it again....

You think you're smart and guarded?
I'll defeat you and make you think I'm a sheep....

And when you open up,
I'll become the wolf and cut into you deep....

I am LOVE and no one will defeat me....
For I will be around forever, as long as you believe in me....

I was born one day to the sunny sky;
The light was quite a surprise.
My mother fed me and kept me warm,
While I was small in size.

I had a brother, close to my age,
To play with every day.
A feeling of fun I learned,
Made me happy in every way.

The days went on and I got older;
Winter rose before my eyes.
I felt cold and numb at night,
Waiting for the sun to rise.

I was running through the field one day;
I fell and hurt my toe.
A feeling of pain and discomfort I found;
Tears began to flow.

Days went on and I've healed and gotten better.
Came the season of happy days
And sunny weather.

I don't understand, I know I can't speak,
But this is all true.
I cry, and hurt, and play and love,
I have feelings just like you!
