Imagine ~

Imagine                                                   

Imagine being forced

To think about

     Every single thing

          Every single

               terror

               and

               horror.

Imagine

Imagine having something

Inside of you that you can’t

               run

               away

               from.

Imagine wondering how

Those around you

     Fail to notice

How close you are

               to

               collapse.

​

Imagine

Imagine plastering

               A smile

               On

     Your face

So you don’t have to

Let people see the true

     Cracks

              in

                   your

                             skin.

Imagine

Imagine having your fears

     Taking such a

               Hold of you

That you no longer

               recognize

               happiness.

​

Imagine

Imagine feeling abnormal

               Like an

                          alien

                   in your

                           own world.

Fear

Fear going outside

      Into the daylight

Imagine

      For one

             Second

How you would feel

               if.

               every.

               single.

               thing.

               around.

               you.

had the possibility

               of

               terrifying

               you.

Imagine

Fear

Fear getting into

               Your

               Car.

You can’t run

      away

      from

The images

Of the people you

Might kill

      the crashes

You might cause

               A week

                    Later.

               A month

                         Later.

The images are still

               with

                      you.

The sight of your

               Car

      Sends a signal

      To that thing inside of you

To open the gates of

​

  Your own hell


 

Could you kill someone

               today?

What if

What if you don’t

See that car turning

Because your thoughts

Won’t let go of the

               fear

                   of

                       that

                              happening.

You would never

      In a million

               years

      Voluntarily hurt

               someone

That is the perfect

               sustenance

               for anxiety.

Turning you into a monster

      Inside your own head

Imagine

Imagine having to get

In your car and

Smile at your

  passenger

               as

                  though

      nothing. Is. wrong.

They don’t see

               Your

               Knuckles

Turn white

      As you grip

The steering wheel

      They miss your

Face harden into

A perfected mask

      Of indifference

While your thoughts

      Are searing the

Inside of your skull

               racing

               a million

               miles

               a minute.

They don’t know

That all you want

To do is crawl inside

               yourself

      And sleep forever

They can’t imagine

      The terror of

Fearing the one thing

      That you can’t

               Run away from

Imagine being trapped

               In your own mind.

The Hallowed Maiden ~

She who lives in
Darkness and in light
Entertaining her precious soul
While dancing in the flames
Flaring in the depths of her mind
Master of thought
Commander of thought
Dreamer of cloud height dreams
Fantasizer of dreams shrouden on black smoke
Eyes as receptors to the world
The black hallowed earth around her
She walks this black earth
She who is
The Hallowed Maiden
