Panick Recoveredminor

#13: big bad world outside

At the top of the stairs is a locked room My secret chamber that no outsider views For entry is forbidden prohibited Behind this door is my other self Not a picture in a frame nor a fresh disguise But my other self Immobile inert and sanguine My narcissus kisses exhale crimson breath And pump ruby to the lip I stand before myself not Jekyll nor Hyde Not sibling nor twin separated at birth I stand before myself unaccountable
