The day as warm

Hot even

But still

Shivers crawl up

my spine

The hair on the back of my neck

stands on end

And my mind won’t stop reeling

Going back and forth

Wondering who is watching

Because someone has to be

Every Step

Is it’s own battle

I’m fighting myself

Wondering

Where

Should

I

Go

It’s been like this for weeks

Constant

No breaks

These are my symptoms doctor

How are you Going to fix it?

This is my problem Officer

How can you keep me safe?

“Why were you at the beach anyway,

Isn’t that just praying for someone to

follow you around?”

I

Never

Told

You

I

Was

At

The

Beach
