Haunted Poem by Dashaun Rashod Snipes Mister

Haunted by the whispers of long-lost words
Whispers that slowly seep into my being
I can't shake off what keeps me here
This emptiness that weighs me down
I am hollow inside, a mere shell
But they still linger, these words of the past
I know you're still there, I can sense your presence
Watching me, wanting me, pulling me down
A fear that grips me, yet a love that enthralls
I can feel you, your grip tightening
But I won't let you pull me down
I won't succumb to your haunting ways
I am stronger, I will not be your prey
I hunt you, I seek you out
Haunted by your scent, your essence
I know you're alive, your heart still beats
Pounding in my head, echoing in my ears
Watching me, wanting me, pulling me down
But I won't let you, I won't be consumed
You try to save me, to rescue me
But your touch feels like a violation
Raping me, stealing my soul
I am watching you, watching me
Feeling you, pulling me down
But I resist, I won't let you win
Fear and love, they battle within me
A constant tug-of-war, a never-ending struggle
But I refuse to be haunted by your memory
I refuse to be trapped in this endless cycle
I will break free, I will find my own way
Away from your haunting grasp, away from your hold
Haunted, but not defeated
I will rise above, I will conquer
These words, these thoughts, they will not control me
I am my own master, I am whole
And though you may still linger, a ghostly presence
I will not be haunted, I will not be haunted.
