Do it or question it

What is it?
I don't know. 
How are you? 
I don't know. 
Who are you? 
A guy doing something. 
So how are you? 
I don't know. 
Why don't you know? 

Stop asking questions, I'm tired of hearing them. 
If you want an answer so much than observe my room. 
What are you trying to prove? 
I don't care about this world. 
Or the next for that matter they're all so grotesque. 
Why do you close your doors to anyone near? 
I'm tired of hearing your questions! Just leave. 

I can't leave until you give me the right answer. 
Well than get comfortable cause I'm not answering your dumb questions. 
This is not a test, just a mere questionnaire. 
Lier! You do this so that I will feel scared! 
I don't want to be scared and I don't want to fear! 
Then answer these questions: 

Who are you? 
Jenny but my friends would call me "Jen." 
How are you? 
Annoyed that you're inside of my space. 
What do you mean "my friends would call me?" 
I don't trust a soul. 
I've answered your questions now leave me be. 
I must solve this mystery. 
What mystery? 
The one about you, him, and I. 
Look I don't know of a mystery here but this is my house so get lost. 
But we're both lost, how could I leave? 
That makes no sense, I'm at home where I should be. 

Father would be proud then. 
What did you say?! 
Dad would be proud and would not wait a day. 
He would take you away and keep you in his castle. 
Something we both know you don't want to happen. 
Why would your dad come after me? 
He likes people like you who stay in their houses and do as they're told. 
He takes them away and puts them to work in his house. 
He has about a million other people though so you won't get special treatment. 

Look, he doesn't know I exist right? 
Does he know where you are? 
Did you run away? 
Yes he knows you exist, yes he knows where I am, and no I did not run away. 

You did not run away yet you're here and you say that 
He would come and take me away? 
He would if I had not come first I came with this warning. 
Spit it out then, I need to hear it! 
I'm scared to my core of what could happen to me if I get caught by this man. 
Live. 
Pardon me? 
I said live go outside and get something to eat. 
Find a job and do something other than 
Sitting around a house all day. 
That's it? 
That's the way. 

This man is real yes? 
Yes. 
And he wants me to work for him yes? 
Yes. 
So what do you want? 
I do not wish the same as my father. 
I wish you to live. 
So you're saying go out and make a fool of myself? 
No. I wish you to do something. 
It does not matter much what you do but please, 
Do something that keeps you out of his sight. 
He looks for those who are inactive in life. 
People he thinks no one will look for and then he will strike. 

He is a demon that takes who he wishes. 
He only takes people who do nothing though. 
So if you do something maybe make a friend or two, 
you would be safe. 
He will not go after you. 
Take that to heart next time you debate, 
whether or not you'll go somewhere. 
He is everywhere, so pay attention. 
If you see someone similar give them this lesson. 

She disappeared as fast as she came. 
My mind was left racing and I fell into my bed. 
I slept. 
I woke. 
I went out into the world. 
I would heed her advice. 
I would change my routine. 
I found a new job, at the town magazine. 
Now I listen and think not just about me. 
I have taken my life off hold. 

I do. 
No longer, "Will I?" 



I've been putting stuff off so I decided to write this poem then get back to it. :)
