Things move on their own.

My math homework jumps from my backpack to the table and I don’t remember carrying it.

I blink and switch rooms,

Open my eyes somewhere else.

Items appear in my hands without me realizing.

The numbers sing a lullaby and the words scratch my skin,

My headphones choke the air from my lungs and my clothes hurt my ears,

Voices blur my vision and I feel

so…

...

Leaves fall on my head

Crunching as I tread

You hold my hand

Skin warm and tanned

Cold stares

You are their nightmare

I realize that you

Are evil it’s true

My friends told me

But i couldn’t believe the key

You took advantage of my soul

And I thought you were cool

As I stand alone

No smell of your cologne

No friends, no one

I won’t ever see the sun

It’s all your fault

You broke into my vault

St...

When the sun starts to set, and the darkness comes knocking, out come the stalkers, as they start stalking. The sun may be asleep, but the moon is wide awake. A cold, round light, leaves a cold, round ache. It may seem a dread, but night can be fun… if your door is shut tightly, might the monsters come....

_“Door shut tightly, monsters might come.”_

She whispered in my ear

I smiled and wiped away a stray tear

_“What monsters are there for you to worry about, my dear?”_

She shook and shivered in my arms

Barely a crack through the door

All I could hear was silence

And her brothers soft snore

_“Monsters, they come at night._

_They yell, scream, kick, and fight.”_

I nodded my head and held her tight

A...

Once stuffing food into my mouth

not caring about carbs

or calories

people around me

who liked to eat too

different spices

flavors

bursting on my tongue

until eighth grade

it was like

when everyone stopped wearing

our white uniform polo

i did too

i never cared about which was which

until everyone else did

lunchtime was my favorite time of day

where i got to laugh with my friends

and eat a full ...

Menedez twins were they

Blown their parents clean away

Spent their money

Living it up

Till they were caught

Menedez brothers

Shook them up

When they got locked up

Jail, doors shut tightly

In case the monsters come

Door shut tightly,

might the monsters come!...

Door shuts tightly , might the monster come .

Dwelling In the silence ready to succumb .

My heart wants to leave so it can grieve .

Don’t you hear the hum as it follows .

one two three it’s coming for me ....

I can never seem to sleep.

When I'm alone, there's nothing to silence the hurricane of thoughts in my head.

**You'll never be enough.**

_Why am I not enough?_

**Nobody loves you.**__

_Why does nobody love me?_

I'm sitting up til sunrise, letting the circles under my eyes darken.

The monster isn't under my bed, but it rests upon it.

It doesn't think it's enough.

It doesn't thin...

Overthinking is my specialty

At night

When the world falls asleep

I sit and think

About everything that went wrong

About the things I said

Or didn’t say

Or the things I did

Or didn’t do

The problems that have no solution

And the differences things would make

If I could just build up enough confidence

To talk to her

I know I can’t do anything about it now

It’s too late

There’s no going bac...

You keep the quilt pressed close to a sweating forehead,

The golden light on to scare the dark

Yet you jump at the sound of the mechanical lark.

Your wild eyes are forced open

In a terrified trance you cannot deny

You pray that no wolf will jump for sheep over a fence so high.

The lark screeches like an owl in the night

Twelve chimes it shrieks

And your heart leaps twelve times.

The creak and ...
