I'm tired of being someone.
Instead, I want to be something.
I want to be the creak in your floorboards at night; the time it takes for you to convince yourself it's just the house settling. Nothing is wrong.
I want to be the dogs barking in the lot across the street. What are they barking at? I cant see anything.
I want to be the howls outside your window, knocking to come inside. It's just the wind, just a tree branch, no one is awake this time of night.
Did you remember to lock the door?
