Dis.Re.Spectre.Ful

These ghosts who haunt my house

 

These memories who haunt my mind

 

These cold sweats at night, aches, and pains through dreaming.

 

I scoff at their jangling chains.

 

I scoff at their unresolved plights.

 

This is my house, my mind, my life.

 

Their haunting is unwelcomed.

 

Their pains are not my concern.

 

Their disrespect has earned my ire.

 

I am not so easily scared.

 

I will not be put out of place.

 

I shall extinguish these spectres with the fire of my will.

 

Torch and turned to ash, these ghost shall fade.

 

Respect the dead who respect death.

 

All others deserve no courtesy.
