#cw: parasitisn

[redpeng]

I awoke from a nightmare,

Cold sweat and burning eyes,

Where I had to tear a snake out from my skin,

Alone 

And without voice.

Pacing through the house,

What help I found was anything but,

And what comfort I had was stripped by

Paranoia–was it still there?

In fact,

Where was it?

I write it out to tell people,

Because now I have the voice to calm

My pacing mind,

And maybe my new family

Is willing to lend a hand.
