When The Fun Is Over I Miss Them The Most
by Svaha Williams
When I’m in my room alone, day or night, I am scared. I sense something more, or maybe, someone? I feel their eyes watching my every move. Enemies, spies, killers, strangers who can hurt me in some way. But then again, they could be friends, family, healers, ancestors, or angels protecting me from demons. I feel like a failure when I’m afraid of this little kid stuff. So, what is there? You. You are there! You are what I am afraid of! You are watching me! Tell me now, WHO ARE YOU and what are you here for?
