For most of us the days fill us with cheer, happiness and laughter are always found near.
But there will always be days that leave us numb,
this is when i worry cause" This is when HE comes"

For most of us as beings, The fall winds bring wonderful things. It brings the harvest of Summer
and the fading of greens.
But for me as a one this is when i hide, It may seem
feeble to you or week inside. You can point or snicker, or even say thats dumb, But it just dont matter cause this is "When HE Comes"

There are only a few "HE" has chosen to see, and
i dont understand why "HE" chose me.
I can never out wake him or out last him at night,
"This is when HE comes" so this is when i fight.
I try to stay awake, I leave on the light, I sit and drink coffee all hours of the night. But it never works, My eye's will close, and 10 minutes later the whistle always blows "This is when HE comes"

HE will never leave with just one dance, HE stays for days and week's until my strength, my will and even my soul seems at chance. "When HE comes".

So after our melody of 10 or 20 songs or more, I'm
left battered and beaten on the floor, She scoops me
away to the doctor i see, where he gives me a pill told taken x3 "When HE Comes".
So after some day's of the pills taken x3 HIS music grows soft and i think He's lost me. But HIS song is the same every time it is played, but i can not live in worry, I can not be afraid "When HE Comes". 

Now after a month when i know HE is gone, I'll scream and I'll dance and profess that I've won.
And again I can join the world in spreading my cheer hoping to God HE cant find me next year.
           "When HE Comes".

I wrote this about 5 years ago when i first found this site. I made it a little more of a easy read, and thought i would post it for some of the newcomers.
PLEASE go easy on me (LOL).
