Poem about my psychotic episodes and believe there are evil spirits/ghosts in my house.
Climbing silently, behind me, almost touching
Dare not turn in case I see –
What would that mean for me? 
I have company on the stairs.

Into the room, no looking back, shut the door –
They are no longer there.

The others do not stalk, they just watch
Still, they are there,
And they watch me sleep, watch me write, watch me masturbate.
Light on. Light off.  They are there and not there.
(Creak of the stairs).
Take my meds to take them away
But they are still there like yesterday.
