Doom

Walked a tight rope every night

Couldn't talk about it,

"Religion is the solution; here, come see the light!"

The answer was always religion, or pills, or therapy

Those things I could never do

Even when I tried, and I tried them all

Eyes always on the doorway

Listening keenly for the sound of footsteps in the hallway

My sister would snore softly

Every nerve in me was lit on fire

Burning, oh the sensation was so painful

Maybe if I didn't blink, maybe if I didn't breathe..

Maybe no one would appear at the entrance

Maybe doom wouldn't be at my door

Maybe..

I'd still be a little more me than I had been....
