The Mind Plays Tricks
The smoke fills the room.
The fear builds inside you.
You know he is coming soon.
You try to hold your breath.
So he can't hear you breathing.
You put your hand over your mouth.
To hold back the silent screams
Inside your head wanting to escape.
You hear the footsteps on the stairs.
You try to pretend nothing is there.
You stare at the closet door.
Waiting for it to open waiting for pain.
Staying alive is the only thing on your mind.
Then that is when you realize that it is all in
the past all in your mind, shaking you open
The door and everything is in place.
Then you smile inside and fall to the floor
Crying laughing trying to pull yourself
Together shaking knowing that your safe for now.
Safe For tonight anyways but not sure what
Your mind has in store for you the next day.
