Try as I may to forget, it still creeps inside. Like poison, I can feel it coursing through my veins. It burns like ****** It’s eating me alive. She asks me if I’ve been using my techniques. She tells me everything is fine. She tells me to try to remember when it creeps in, that it’s only in my mind. Easier said than done, when the nightmares that haunt me are real. Grabbing me and holding me down. They’re screaming in my ear. Tap, tap, tap, “hello? Are you still there? We will always find you. We will always be right here.” Tap, tap, tap, “hello? You can’t ignore us for long. We will only get louder. You know you aren’t that strong.” Bang, bang, bang, “GET UP! SHES HERE! THE TIME IS NOW!” Hello again, my unwanted friends… I’ll silence you, somehow.

Hello?
Try as I may to forget, it still creeps inside. Like poison, I can feel it coursing through my veins. It burns like ****** It’s eating me alive. She asks me if I’ve been using my techniques. She tells me everything is fine. She tells me to try to remember when it creeps in, that it’s only in my mind. Easier said than done, when the nightmares that haunt me are real. Grabbing me and holding me down. They’re screaming in my ear. Tap, tap, tap, “hello? Are you still there? We will always find you. We will always be right here.” Tap, tap, tap, “hello? You can’t ignore us for long. We will only get louder. You know you aren’t that strong.” Bang, bang, bang, “GET UP! SHES HERE! THE TIME IS NOW!” Hello again, my unwanted friends… I’ll silence you, somehow.
