The War

She’s behind me lurking

Watching over my shoulder whispering

“You are truly alone in this world. No one looks for you. You will always be chasing them.”

I shutter at the feel of her breath down my spine. Her truths are fake.

I ignore her as she sulks in the corner oozing cold vibrations that slowly crawl across the floor.

She stares, I stare back at her.

Slowly I run my finger along the soft edges of the curtain. She sends out a wave of disgust trying to drown me in her darkness.

Just as the sorrow washes upon me, with my last bit of joy, I swipe open the curtain and warm sunlight shields me. I smile as she shrinks away.

Today will be my day.

“You may have won this battle but you will never win the war.” her voice echos deep inside.
