Favorite Quote:
i am too intelligent, too demanding, and too resourceful for anyone to be able to take charge of me entirely. no one knows me or loves me completely. i have only myself. — simone de beauvoir

tapping at my window
shadows in the corners
scraping down the hallway
breathing in my closet
crawling on the ceiling
fingers at my throat
eyes from the doorway
drop the terror in my mouth, bitter metal acid burn
continually. continually.
heavy on my chest and heavier on my lungs.
suffocate.
i know youre there.
