"Wut u dont keep a shank in ur purse 2??//?"

I have this odd habit.

This thing I do when I'm driving alone...

Sometimes I feel like I am being followed.

So I will stop my car and wait for the one behind

me to pass...Just to shake the feeling.

When I get angry

and bad words or mean thoughts run through my head...

"Duck this!"

"I will kill your first born!"

"What do you MEAN you don't like tomatoes?! That's practically sacrilegious!"

I get really scared

my teachers and friends and parents

are all secretly mind readers.

So I try to think about puppies and cake instead.

I can't use the restroom in public places.

I am so frightened the person in the stall over will hear me

and think to herself...

"DAYUM. That girl urinates SO LOUDLY. WHAT. A. FREAK."

I am one of those people who puts their keys between their

fingers when they walk to the car

so if a rapist tries to get at me

I can claw his face and run.

I check under my bed, in my closet, on the top bunk, and pat my covers

to check for possible intruders

before I do a barrel roll into bed...

Just in case a monster or serial killer snuck under there

while I was checking all the other places.

I am terrified that the strangers watch me change

so I always keep the blinds closed.

I am not paranoid.

I am cautious.
