Klaxon

The optimistic side of me wants
to believe that my fear
keeps me safe.

That there's a reason I 
check over my shoulder at the slightest
Noise.

That it’s just the caffeine 
making my heart flutter. That 
if I reject comfort and live
my life with my hair standing on
End, 
that will somehow ward off
disaster. 

That there's a meaning to
the snuff films I get it
4k anytime I 
Dare
to close my eyes. That locking
my door eight times a night is a 
positive trait, because I just want
to keep my family safe.
