The things I didn’t say

Poem

You don’t belong here
In my room, you live
Between the walls
Inside my mind
Where fear cannot survive
Though it’s a place that I hide
I wish I had said
There’s no place here
For the terror you caused
For the monster you became
And for the shadows you created
I feared the creature before me
Today I am fear
Tomorrow I steer clear
Of the moments in me
Of what I wish I had said
