Hiding under my sheets to clench my chest to clench myself

What is myself other than self

But then again there isn't my without the self part


Self owned by something cover my mouth to avoid the sound

Sound is heard by self myself

“Self”


What is I, Self

What is My, Self

What is Myself

Self


I continue to sit in fear to sweat

The sweat smells of fear and sweat

It is not sweat i’d sweat or stress


I hear a creak on my floor board

Self


A feeling of hot uncomfortable breath fills the inside of my ear

Breathless

Restless

Restless I stay

I say that I will be

Self

Self

Self

Self

Saw

Their voice inside my ear

“Thou Shalt not Be In Fear”

What's with the Language Oh Strange Machine

“Keep thy Soul Pure And Clean”

I was a Once a Self A Second

Self
