Asked to Stop

  • Asked to Stop

    I was asked to stop,
    Being me in my home
    It seems insignificant
    But everything is broken now.

    My mind is going
    Deep into the dark
    Am I safe?
    How can I tell?

    I have feelings of fear
    They are purely Irrational
    But they are there…
    Lingering just out of sight

    I try not to act on them
    Its so difficult alone,
    I am clinging so desperately
    To who it is I am and know.

    But its becoming harder,
    As I watch the clock tick by
    Tears fall from my face
    Is this madness? I wonder…

    I made a decision
    I will barricade my door
    There are too many monsters
    And I cannot hold against them all

    I have chosen now, my fate
    To fade into dust.
    Holding off all the monsters
    That make me shake so much.

    Aw, Matty. You’re stronger than any monsters. Besides, they don’t even exist. Maybe set your mind on doing something? A new art project? Cooking a new dish? Something good to read? Hang in there!
