The Cats

My mind is fuzzy.

I can't think straight.

I hear a clock ticking.

Is it just in my head?

Do you hear it too?

I round a corner.

The cat waits there.

It watches me.

It watches me.

It watches me.

It's all in my head.

I know this to be true.

But it's so hard when

My thoughts are

Staring right at me.

Determined not to react

I walk right past the cat.

There's another.

It sits in the sink.

It watches me.

It watches me.

It watches me.

I turn around.

There's another.

They're watching me.

They're watching me.

They're watching me.

I clutch my head and scream.

  • I Am From

    I am from 

    My hip-dysplasia harness and 

    My teddy bear blanket 

     

    I am from my dog that always slept beside me 

    Even when my parents locked the door

    (Sometimes)

    Life just seems much too hard

    (Sometimes)

    I don't want to go on

    (Sometimes)

    I feel like it's impossible-

    Immovable walls surround me

    (Sometimes)

    I don't understand other folks-
