Facing Fear

She stood on the edge of reason trying to comprehend how she got there.
Eyes closed feeling the wind embrace her entire body. The many tears she cried came
tumbling down her face.
She wanted to believe in fairy tales and dreams coming true, but the misery of it all flooded her head space. Remembering life before it all made her feel again.
The numbness that caused her not to feel came at the price of life passing her by.

Standing on the edge, looking up at the sky thanking god for forgiving her and realizing that
she had the courage to live out loud and not apologize was all that mattered.
Her sense of feeling was all she needed to survive.

Outside my body I looked at me in shame and wondered "Why me?" I didn't ask for this. Why was he hurting me? Just as he began to make his move, There she was in tears. My mom had come home early and found us nearly naked. My shame was now her shame.

Bump In The Night - Haunted

Image
Messy eyes and drawn out smiles are all I can think of before drifting off to sleep. She haunted me to say the least with her joker like stare and paralyzing grip on my nightmarish dreams. I wake up to the sound that has me hidden under covers. The heaviness I feel on my legs causes me to shriek. “Why must you torture me?” I say frantic for an answer. “Because, I enjoy this game my dear.” She was out of control now showing up in my dreams and waking life. What must I do to get rid of such an entity? It frightens me that she is me.
