StrangeHow I can feel trapped in a room with so many exitsOverwhelmingAs the air escapes my lungsThe sound of the thunder masking the footstepsOf potential stalkers in my homeIt’s frightening to think of what is out thereTo think I’m not aloneThe paranoia has set inMy neck is stiff from looking over my shoulder every minuteSet me ablaze and extinguish me in saltI know no rapture such as thisTie my limbs to four separate horsesAnd when you see fit – crack the whipA MUFFLED SCREAM IS JUST A WHISPERIntruder, string me up in your vocal cordsSing me to sleep, I’m hanging on your every wordNo one’s impervious to the unknownNothing’s innocuous after what I’ve been shown
