The Thief

It took me a while to figure out if it was thief or theif because I did that thing where I stared at it for too long so it looked like I was spelling it wrong either way, ya know? I also realized that a lot of my poems are titles "The ___", because I'm unoriginal *awkward peace signs* Anyway, here's my poem! (here i am, one day later adding more bc I might declaim it now and I'm stressed ahaha its 2 pm and I don't know what I'm doing anymore! {if you get that reference then ily} [I can't even count days properly, my gosh this took me too long to get right])


He peers out from behind the door

A devilish smirk upon his lips as he slinks over

He knows why he is here

And so do you


You cannot stop him alone

Assistance would be required

Yet there is no one in sight


As you are distracted in your own mind

He has crept up from behind you

And stolen your lungs


Time is just a figment of your imagination now

There is no such thing as a steady rhythm

All there is is flooding

And the sensation of drowning in yourself


(this is the added part) 

He knows his power

He knows he has absolute authority over you

He shakes you back to what seems like reality

But even when he stops shaking you, you still quiver


Although he already has your lungs

He craves more

He needs to satiate his hunger

And the only way to do so is through you


yay! I might continue to add more, we'll see

I hope you have a great morning/day/afternoon/evening/night!
