I almost never HEAR THEM anymore,
No MORE CREAKING and shaking
No more slamming of my door,
Only vents shaking and my house quaking.
I never hear anymore “SHHHHH”,
I never hear THEY’RE BREATHING.
I never have the delusion of light streaming through my windows.
No more slowly closing the door and turning on the lights
Honestly….
I’m not sure if it’s really over,
Last night I felt very uneasy, sweat flowing down my spine.
Eyes darting back and forth, to the door, no the window, is HE there, IS he HERE?
Seeing lights not there but not here nor there, But always beckoning for me to OPEN THE WINDOW
I’m not sure if THE SCUTTLING UNDER MY BED IS REAL or not,
THEY ARE nowhere family is EVERYWHERE.
THEY AREN’T REAL at all,
IF I STOP BELIEVING IN THEM THEY CAN’t GET ME.
I’M not IN DANGER….
I’m not sure if the therapist believes me,
THEY ARE only INSIDE my house-imagination,
I’m sure They’re not breaking My door-mind,
All I’m sure of Is I’m Not-Safe,
No bad thoughts I’m only feeling uneasy.
