Hi everybody I want to mention that this might be triggering it's a rather graphic poem in its own right. So it might be unnerving to some. 

I never had nightmares as a kid

I was never scared

No Boogeyman or ghost would ever haunt my dreams

How come you do?

Every night I am scared as I lay myself to rest

Those eyes ripping out my dignity

Ripping apart my pride

With your sharp nails tenderly gliding across my scars

Only to rip them open into the wounds I once had

violently ripping apart the flesh of my secrets

And it hurts everytime

But I've become used to the pain

Because with every scream 

You become more important

You destroy a little more from my life

So I'll sew up my mouth

In order to remain in control

I have never been scared of monster

Boogeyman's or ghosts

But you are far scarier 

After all

You 

were 

real
