"Don't tell anyone about me or I'll kill you."

She's back,

I'm more fearful than before.

I feel trapped,

As though I'm pinned against the floor.

The dark silhouette

Never seems to leave me alone.

I'm filled with regret

That I even left home.

She's back,

After two fucking months.

I still see her through a crack.

I wanted her gone for once.

Two months

Wasn't that long.

Every time I tried to confront,

She ended up being gone.

This explains how I felt 11/14/2021. I had my first hallucination in several months and it was scary because I wasn't home. "She" refers to the person that I could see and hear. She looks very similar to the shadow image above, but with a white gown and long hair. She always seems as though she is going to hurt me, by threatening me if I tell anyone about her. The bold and italicized sentence at the top is what I hear from her as she is holding various weapons. Psychosis is no joke, it is terrifying for those who experience it.
