OMG!!! IT’S AN INMON PIECE!!!!
REALLY?!!
Yes, I’m back. Though not as frequently đ Here’s this week’s attempt:
My hands shake and I can’t stop them. I don’t want to stop them either.
“It’s not my fault. Everyone’s so scary! “
Everyday is like this. Everyone’s shadows look sinister and demanding. Somehow it’s the demanding part that scares me the most.
“What do you want from me?”
I ask this question daily too. Usually I’m met with strange looks, as though I don’t know what I’m talking about. That’s the really infuriating part.
“Leave me alone!”
I need to curl up into a ball and hug my knees to my chest. Gran taught me how to do it when I was little and I’ve been doing it ever since. It’s the only thing that calms me down.
“It’s okay.”
Slowly, people pass by my forced blockade and slowly I enter my own world. Here, everything is clean. I’m alone, but it’s not scary. I can’t hurt myself after all. No one can hurt me. I’m not afraid of snipers and spies and terrorists on top of it all. It’s peaceful; like falling asleep.
“Why are you doing that?”
I’m already out of my happy place.
“It’s nice.”
“REALLY?”
Maybe we’re all the same.
