I am in a dark room

Under a bed

Shaking in fear

Waiting for it to find me

Like it always does

 


I hear the door

Crack open

And the footsteps

Coming closer

And closer

 


Until it grabs me

And fades

Into me

Taking over

Making me fear myself

The author's comments:

Hi, my name is Kayla. I wrote this poem about an eating disorder and how for a short amount of time it will go away but it always comes back. The poem is describing the fear someone can get when they feel it coming back.
