Look at the dark circles in my eyes,
Look at my swollen red eyes,
I'm sleepy and yet afraid to sleep at the same time.
I cling to the sheets,
I'm tensed but I grit my teeth,
Power outage?? and seems something lingers in the dark.
The door to my room creaks!!
But my parents aren't home, who can it be??
The door's open, nobody's entering, then who opened it?
A sudden cold breeze.
And a sudden dark aura sending chills.
This can't be normal and "WHO'S THAT IN MY CLOSET!!!?"
Ooh God!! but my closet is empty!!
Let me lock the door, maybe am only overthinking.
Wait!! "and who are those in the living room talking?"
I don't give a damn shit.
I slide into my sheets, waiting for the morning to slip.
Footsteps?? "and who the hell again is knocking?"
I open the door, but there's nobody on the doorsill!!
What a hell!! I don't think I imagined this.
Or are my parents back? that sounds like my dad laughing.
I stride to their room to take a look.
So strange no signs of anyone, their room is padlocked!!
What about the laughter and the talkings earlier?? this can't be my own imagination, right??
Back to my room under my sheets.
Let the morning come, I can't take all this.
"This house is haunted" I wish we believed when they said this.
