CAN'T RID OF ME

CAN'T RID OF ME

Can't
Turn me off
Like
Leaking tap
Can't
Wish me off
Like
Disturbing nightmares
Of recurring dreams
Or
Recycled
Dark thoughts

I will
Still be
Here & there
And
Everywhere

I will be
Like a fixture
In your house
Furniture

You might
Wave me away
Like a fly

But will be back
Like
A fly on the wall
With my feelers
Perched on the wall

Watch your moves
Listen to
What you have to
Dish out as gossips

Can't see me
But I can

Can't
Rid of me

Am
Determined to stay
Am here
Am a survivor

Left home and
Loved ones behind
Forsaking
The good life I had

Can't
Rid of me
'coz am here

Whether
You like it or not
You're stuck with me

Can't
Rid of me

Am here for good
Have proved
To be
A valuable asset
To my
Neighbourhood
Society
And
Community
