~~~~~~~~~~Sedatephobia: the fear of silence~~~~~~~~~~
It speaks,
Louder in silence.
It rattles,
around filling the room.
Making the air thick and intolerable.
It watches,
it loves to see my struggle.
I shake curled upon a ball afraid to move and afraid to speak.
It laughs,
as i pray for her voice to stop calling me.
But it isn't.
I double over and dry heave as she screams at me.
I clutch my stomach and crawl.
I crawl
and slide
to anything that will block out the noise.
My hand finds the stereo remote and I crank the music up.
It fades,
as it played full blast
Until her voice is no longer lingering in my mind.
~~ So, hey guys. I created this story because of my cousin who suffers from multiple phobias that cripple her and put a pause on her life. This book is meant to shine a light on what those who suffer from "unusual" phobias are forced to go through.
IT IS NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES MAKING FUN OF PHOBIAS AND THOSE ENDURING THEM.
I would really love to hear about phobias you guys may have. And what you go through, what it feels like, and your opinions/ hopes/ stories. I want you guys to feel like you have a voice in this Phobia Project. You can message me or leave a comment below. This is a safe place for everyone. Stay strong <3 you are loved and appreciated!
Hope you enjoyed and I hope this could be an awesome experience for us all :) ~~~~~~~
