Night After Night

I walk these halls
Frightened

Anyone could be in here
I wouldn't even know it

People could be watching me
I could be murdered

But nothing ever happens
I just scare myself

One day ill kill myself
One day the persistent anxiety will get to me and get to me good

I yearn for naïveté
I would be less afraid of Everything

When you're young
You know little

You're fearless
I want to be fearless

But nothing every happens, I'm always safe and sound
But I want something to happen, I want to experience everything

I yearn for naïveté
But also for wisdom

Mother says to never fear
Because God is with me

But really, the only thing to fear
Is my imagination

God can't protect me from myself

Night after night I imagine
Horrible, terrible things

My memory like an elephants
Replaying previous sights

The anxiety
I would never wish that upon anyone
The anxiety

Night after night

Up and coming everything. I have plans. And I don't like uppercase "t"s.

Need To Scream

I've felt this torment many times before. The scream that builds to an internal roar. An urge in my muscles to burst out of my skin. Where is the end, I don't know where to begin.
