I can hear them,

I can hear them moving around outside the window

I can't leave...

They will see me if I leave

If they see me it's all over

No more chances

They will tie me up and throw away the key for good this time

...

That sound,

That horrible sound

The ink moving across the ground outside...

I never thought that the sound of it, could bother me so much

I am the one who is meant to be feared
I am not meant to feel such things as fear

...

I can hear the humming...

...From the machine that they used on me

I can feel the fear clawing its way back in

I feel it rising slowly inside of me.

The pain

The memories

The doubt and worry

I don't want to feel this way anymore

...

I understand now why prey run away from the things that they fear

I understand why their hearts race when they hear the sounds of their predators.

I couldn't understand before,

I had nothing to fear

I was the only thing that was ever feared...

but I understand now why they run as fast as they do.
