Stalker

It watches it stares My God it's always there In the shower, when I read a book It even gives me dirty looks NO PRIVACY ALOUD It moves in malice all about No hiding, It's there Even when taking off my underwear Nowhere to hide, it will not leave It's moving closer What could it be? A confused ex, or an ex friend I want to be free, IT'S STALKING ME I can remember when it all began Ducking behind trees, and the sound of crushing leaves Sometimes I think it's on my sleeve It's in my phone, It should go home Inside my bed, It even crawls inside my head I want to breathe, I want to scream I sometimes wonder what it wants from me I feel its presence, I can smell it's breath Is as if something crawled from death I pinch myself when I awake, because I know that this is not my fate I will not run, I will not hide I feel this parasite inside So time has passed, It will not leave,because it holds this jealousy I want it gone, To feel again I even feel it when I take a swim When I rest, It screams at night, I even lose my appetite Its in my car, under my seats There's a crazy demon stalking me When I pray, it lies in wait, just to make me feel its pain, guilt, and low self-esteem Because I'm not the one it expected me to be I am Calm, quiet, caring, kind and still And I refuse to let it steal my will!
