Beware of the Demons

Tell me something about yourself—

Quickly, without hesitation.

I feel how you feel,

I see what you see,

That’s how you know you can trust me.

Don’t question that pull in your gut—

That hair raising on your neck—

That adrenaline rushing to your brain—

That blood falling from your eyes.

It is normalcy :)

You know this because it’s me,

And you have always trusted me.

About the Creator

Ann Crafter

I believe that art exists to express emotions so specific/unique that one requires an unconventional outlet to display them.

Everything I write makes sense to me; each word has a place and provides clarity to my being.
