My House Wants Me Out
My house doesn’t feel like a home (My True Story)
My House Wants Me Out
In this house where shadows creep,
Since twenty-fourteen, I’ve lost my sleep.
Once strong and free, now I feel weak,
A weight surrounds, no peace I seek.
Echoes linger, whispers near,
A haunting presence, drawing fear.
Each night drags on, no end in sight,
Walls confine, the battle’s tight.
What curse dwells in this space?
Why does my spirit feel out of place?
An unseen force has taken hold,
Leaving me weary, and feeling old.
Illness wraps me, a shroud of dread,
In these corridors, my strength is shed.
I long to move, to break these chains,
Eleven years lost, consumed by pains.
Like a giant tube, it pulls me inside,
It wants me gone, but I cannot hide.
Caught in this battle, I feel so small,
Fighting to rise, yet lost in it all.
When I moved here I was fit and well
Now nights a struggle each day is hell
Note This is true from day 1 which was 11 years ago I have suffered. Moving isn’t easy either 😭 For identity reasons this photo is not of my house 😜

One must be wanting to make changes and be able to make those changes come true when they are ready. Your time will come and good job.
I’m so sorry you are going through this! This is a beautiful poem! However, do make sure to do something about getting out of that shitty place, ill be praying for you
Oh, Marie, if you know this for a fact you need to do everything to move away. Sounds like something is draining you in that place.
A poem about a house that’s possibly haunted! Loved it! Great job
