Haunted

Something quick that I jotted down. figured I should post.

When I’m alone I feel like my head is screaming.

Someone inside is kneeling on the ground, holding her head

Squeezing; so much pressure, she needs to release

 

She never will, she’ll just keep screaming

Pressing on her temples, not knowing what to do

I can’t even help her, maybe no one can

 

I tell her leave me alone, I don’t want you

I beg her, wanting to crush her soul, leave her breathless

She looks at me, her eyes pleading, wanting more

 

She wants all of me, to eat me alive from the inside out

Feeds on my pain, my tears, my anger

I can feel her, always the crushing weight on my chest

 

She’s behind my eyes, looking out

Always watching, looking for pain

Can anybody see her, will anyone help me?

 

I squeeze my eyes shut, blocking out her noise

Endless, infinite noise, her screaming

I feel myself falling, slipping away

 

It’s so dark, and she’s finally quiet

Maybe she’s resting, or maybe I've escaped

My soul is weightless, my mind is calm

I read somewhere about the three personae ( I think it was Jung): who people think we are, who we think we are, and who we really are.

No one really knows the person that lives inside us. We only give people glimpses; sometimes disguised.

Good write.
