I become a lot heavier
The shadows behind me become a lot scarier
The voices in my head get a lot louder
My heart thumps a lot faster
My body, soul and mind feel more uneasy
My thoughts make me feel queasy
My eyes hurt from too much tears
My heart pangs from too much fears
My feet numb from running
My fours bleed from crawling
I am tired of it all, but the moment I stop running,
Is the moment I will be caught and found wanting
So when you see me outside for a long time, don't judge
When I linger in your presence, don't grudge
My petrifying reality is what I desperately evade, a draining chore.
These experiences are what I face when I close the door.
