The writer's fear



I gaze wide eyed at the book in my hands
Beautiful ethereal writings scribbled on the pages gazes back at me.
The words, my words!
They are Alive!

 The book flies out of my hands and lands on the ground with a loud thud
The pen follows swiftly
My breath coming in shirt gasps
I need to run!

 What the hell?!
The lights are out, leaving me shrouded by darkness
My breathing ragged
I crawl my way to the door
Finding the handle and wrapping long fingers around it
I pull but to no avail

 Locked. I'm trapped!

 A few thousand shakes of the handle
I'm drenched in my own sweat
The unmistakable metallic taste in my mouth

 Blood! Musta bit my tongue.

 Suddenly, something glints in the darkness
I feel for it. A key!
Stealthily the luck turns
Letting me out, banging the door behind me

 I look left and right
My breathing calms
Heart beat is back to normal
Normalcy is a pretense
I smile as I pretend that nothing just happened.

This really happened to me! I was writing "Grey Between"; twas a horror scene and when the lights went out, I got so scared.

Today on Anxiety

I was always teetering. I was always afraid. What if i couldn't take it anymore What if i just couldn't The darkness that pulled me in was mostly faceless. But sometimes it was the social media. Sometimes it was boys. Or my parents. Or a friend. Or anxiety. I have always lived so close to the edge One day, i just might slip and fall Or maybe I would pull through one more time. Maybe I'll find the strength inside. I envision my lungs bursting with joy, knocking down the darkness.

My 2018 Story

This year, I was afraid  My safe zone got breeched and fear almost crippled me. This year, I was sick and my heart bleed out. I became adamant to love and my heart couldn't conceive the concept of forgiveness. This year, I felt alone and I wet my pillows at night. Actually, The world broke me and i became a walking shell of the girl i used to be. Look how easy it is to spell out what i could tag my curses. Please, lets back up a bit. When I got abducted, I wasn't touched. Not harmed. The word of God which says touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm, which says people that mean to curse us will bless us; it came alive! Honestly, it was a miracle. The sickness didn't kill me, and believe it or not but my heart still beats in my chest. God commanded to love everyone, and if you don't forgive you're walking into your damnation. It was hard but I tried and I did. So, you can too. This year I listened to Apostle Joshua Selma teach on Favour a...
