Emotionally, it hurts
Like something's beating you from the inside
Like chains are chained to your heart
And something keeps pulling the chains

Mentally, it's exhausting
As I question it's authority
It's presence
It's purpose
The reason why I am like this

Physically, I give up.
Entangled in this chaos,
I can no longer pull myself up from it's depths
To the point where I grow weary and numb
I am simply nothing

I am gone.

I breathe
Still, the fear lingers
As my blood runs cold
Was it from above
Or beneath the very floor where I plant my foot

Will they peak beside me
The moment I catch my eye
Is my family still there
Will they be able to hear me cry

This is the fear I live
The sheer horror
Or discrete you may dismay
My mind unravels
And elsewhere takes away

And I wait
And wait
In utter loneliness
Perhaps I am not alone
They’re there

I feel them watching me
They know I fear
They feed off it
And I wait for them to show
Because I know they are near
