Haunted
I remember the moment I became haunted.
Kindergarten, first day, they lined us up
Boys on one side, girls on the other
And as soon as they put me with the boys, the haunting began
The ghost being the girl I should have been
And as time went by
That haunting, that echo of what could have been
Only grew worse.
Until the day the doctor took me the first time
And my mind split
And the girl went deep inside
And I started being haunted by darker things
But that girl wouldnt stay hidden
So i became doubly haunted
My body a home for ghosts
Time passed
Torment ebbed and flowed
Until I got brave enough to face my ghosts
Merged the girl back inside
So she could finally grow up to be a woman
And I was haunted by her no more
And shrunk down the memories of horror
Until they were manageable size
At least most of the time
And good days outnumbered bad
And although at times I’m still haunted
My ghosts are less scary
I’ll take it.
