"Lightning in a bottle"

Even on these cloudy days my thoughts are filled with a blinding light,

Ever encroaching on my privacy trying to pry open every crack in sight. 

All of the shadows scatter towards the farthest reaches in order to hide,

Inch by inch I ache with numb limbs and brittle bones collasping on every side.

Seizing the moment without hesitation I hear your snooping frequency,

Immediately I notice and the voices stop only for you to ask me.

Did you say something?

No I didn't. I say and fill my head with senseless humming.

My silence is surrounded by endless noise inaudible to everyone,

Yet somehow I know you hear the haunting hum isn't who it's from.

It's the entity trying to poison my dreams and feast while I sleep,

Clawing furiously and lashing at it's leash screaming it can't breathe.

Drowning in the deep of my pride I won't allow it's anguish to wallow,

Only one shot to strike if I could catch lightning in a bottle.
