Six Tormenting Fears
They are the only ones that control me. I am the only one who can break them. Six tormenting fears with deceiving eyes and unbreakable thoughts. Six within my mind. Six remembrances infused in me. From my head I can hear them whisper, but they tell me theres nothing there.
Their voices are my secret. They torment my mind with actions and words. They speak louder and louder and open my mind to unimaginable things. This is how they own me.
Let one forget its reason for being, I can break free from their grasp. I become stronger. Stronger, stronger, stronger, I grow into a better person. I learn.
When I am too scared and too weak, to get stronger, when I am covered in tears lying on the cold basement floor, I stand to look in the mirror. Six grow inside me. Six who empower and won’t let me forget. Six who are alive because of me and only me.
