*****Some parts of this poem you'll need to turn your phone upside down and read the text backwards. Not all devices will be able to read properly.*****

I look back behind me
And there's nothing to worry.
My friends are all sleeping, nothing is creepy.
Everything is great.
I start hearing a voice, it gives me no choice,
I must be crazy.

I hear these weird words, but can't make them out.
But I'm suddenly feeling with self doubt.
I don't want to laugh, I just want to cry.
Just cry myself to sleep, at my friends feet,
And to to make him go away.

Maybe I'll sleep, if I start counting sheep, and maybe it'll calm me. I feel like I want to die, but not tonight, my friends will be dissatisfied.

I just thought of a query, for all my feelings, how do you think about red? They all responded well, and my journey will tell, that night did not go so swell.
