they like to hide in the walls
i have never seen them and i have never heard them speak out loud
but i think i felt their hands slide gently up my spine and. they grasped at the back of my neck and they squeezed down. they watched me squirm until they let go and they laughed together.
they laughed, they laughed as i ran away
and i could not hear it but i felt it echo through my chest.

its getting hard to tell if they're here or if they simply want to watch me squirm.

but i am always afraid and i feel the cold running through my nerves and my eyes dart to the corner and i am rushing in an attempt to turn to look behind me and i am checking under the bed, like a child, i am hastily rooting through the closet, i am running to my bed and hiding beneath the covers.
you tell me, "monsters aren't real, there are no ghosts here, i've got you, you're safe, i've got you" and i cannot hear you
my heart is beating so fast there is nothing but fear i am no longer here, I am terrified, I am terrified
They Are Watching!!!!
And They Are Disappointed
