Cabin in the woods


This place is cold and dark I don't want to be here if you're not I feel lost. Goose bumps puncture my skin like small tacs. I don't want to be here if you're not. Loud barking of wild dogs urge me to scream I can't stand it here. It's not fun. It's torture. I want to crawl out of my own skin. Loud noises fill my ears hurting my soul. I'm not welcome here. I don't feel safe. I continue to drink my pain away. I don't want to be here if you're not. I can hear your soft voice speaking to me telling me to slow down but I can't. It's mot your words that effect me. It's your actions. I want to come home. I feel chained here. I don't know these people. I don't want to know them. I don't understand what they're about. I don't want to know either. Empty faces and hopeless thoughts choke me and fill my lungs with pain. They're is no mutual liking here. My whole body feels tension; mind, body and soul feel broken apart. I was suppose to get away. I don't want to be here if you're not
