fear

i have always feared myself
and the demons inside me.
their whispers resonate
throughout my body,
reawakening the trauma
i once buried.

in a night
where iʼm supposed to be sleeping
was a nightmare
i am currently reliving.
the anxieties are enveloping me
like a recalcitrant ghoul,
and these overflowing thoughts
written in here
was just a way
of keeping myself sane.

and when i end this word vomit disguised as a literary piece,
i know these thoughts
will pile up once again.
i am afraid,
i am scared,
i am always in a spotlight of fear.
it is a warfare within myself;
a battle between my clashing personas,
a strife of my shadows,
and a fight of my egos.

clearly, i am my own demon.
