Go!!!

Strange
How I can feel trapped
in a room with so many exits
Overwhelming
As the air escapes my lungs
The sound of the thunder masking the footsteps of potential stalkers in my home
It’s frightening to think of what is out there
To think I’m not alone

The paranoia has set in
My neck is stiff
from looking over my shoulder
every minute

Set me ablaze and extinguish me in salt
I know no rapture such as this
Tie my limbs to
four separate horses
And when you see fit - crack the whip
A MUFFLED SCREAM IS JUST A WHISPER

Intruder,
string me up in your vocal cords
Sing me to sleep,
I’m hanging on your every word
No one’s impervious
to the unknown
Nothing’s innocuous
after what I’ve been shown
