She's like
A monster,
Cutting off my air,
Making me dizzy.

She's red
All over.
She wants to scare me.
And it works
Usually.

I am getting better
At noticing
When she arrives.
She appears a lot;
She says she's helping me.

She says
I can't be safe
Without her.
It isn't true.
She tells me
I'm in danger
When I'm not.

Slowly,
I am becoming more aware
Of when I need her
And when I'm safe without her.
