Evil Within

Victoria Lamphear 1968 (TN)

Walking around in silence
Trying to be what is wanted
Can it be done unheeded
Never is the answer
Evil within
No noise is allowed
The  house is silent
A squeak is heard
Running is approaching
Sit in the corner unnoticed
Hoping it will pass
Evil within
Screaming erupts in the room
Cowering in the corner
Trying  to hide
Eyes glaring at you
Still trying to hide
Evil within
The inevitable touches you
Curling up into a ball
Avoiding the unneccesary
These walls will not reveal
Outside never showing
Tears unseen
Cries never heard
Evil within
Not seen by others
Bruises and pain showing
Lies to hide
Smiles to conceal
Hurt not showing
Evil within

Victoria Lamphear

Not new to poetry but taken a break and have enjoyed life, I have entered a creative writing course and it has renewed my passion. Writing poetry and short stories have been my thing for as long as I can remember. Fiction and non-fiction. I have experienced some ghostly experiences in my life and will share them with you in poetry. Hope you all are mouths and eyes wide opened! Victoria more…
