Something is calling my name.
Something is driving me insane.
Is whispers in the dark. Telling lies and ripping me apart.
Calling my name in words I can’t understand.
Telling me things
Horrible things
It is creeping up on me.
Ever near…
Always close by

It can smell my fear.

My heart rate quickens and I beg it to slow.

I just want to sleep.
I don’t want to feel.
I just want to pretend like none of this is real.
I am afraid
Alone
I can’t take this much more.
But
Then it starts to wane.
I can hear my own thoughts again.
The whisper calms down
My heart slows down
For now…
