Demoralizing Danger


I didn’t realize
How much danger
I was putting myself in
Unknowingly a target
Unsuspected enemies
Pretending to be friends
Pretending to help you
All the while leading you astray
As you lead yourself astray
I was too young to know
What waited for me in there
What I could have walked in on
What I could have had
To endure
Until it was over
But it would never have been over
That would have been the first night
That my life would have been over
The consequences would have destroyed me
Made me feel smaller than I am now
When I read about it in the paper
I felt sick to my stomach
To think that could have been me
To think that what they went through
Could have been my fate
