Darkness
She sits in a room of darkness
Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide
She hears a sound
But ignores it like nothing’s there
Her mind is slowly losing control
She’s fidgeting and shaking so
She hears that sound again once more
The sound is eating her up inside
She just wants to scream “Go away!”
The sound gets louder and louder
She feels like she has no control
Talking to herself so loudly
Now she’s losing control of her emotions
The pacing of footsteps starts to come near
She has nowhere to go
The footsteps come faster and quicker now
Sweat begins to feel her face
The footsteps stop now
She could feel her heart stop too
The shadow of footsteps are under the door
She closes her eyes
Doorknobs begin to turn
She starts breathing hard
The figure’s presence is there now
Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide
She sits in a room of darkness
