I Take A Step

Trying to get through, trying to live, trying to be normal

I take a step

Someone is after me

I take another step

They're after me

Someone gave me a glance and it opened up a chest of possibilities

All of them made me shift uncomfortably inside

I take a step again

I know they're here and I know that they know

Reality is a concept that has blurred with time

All these questions are waiting to burst my body open

I try to know, be steps ahead of them and try to figure what's the truth

Someone under my bed and in my closet

There's something dancing on the floor of my room

On the outside of my window I can feel someone's presence

Figuring out, constantly questioning and vaguely believing

I take another step

My facial expression and body language will forever remain neutral

Nobody knows what's going on behind it all

I take another step as I breathe in and out, acting normal and attempt to say the right words

Inside of me, the thoughts are waiting to burst my body open together with the questions

When that day comes, the soil inside my veins and the dark parts of my mind will be exposed

Until then, I'll take another step and remain passive in front of other's eyes
