The fear that had crept..

Now it is, yes it is, I know,
the last moment of desperation,
I gasp for breath
no more room for thoughts
My brain has a 'houseful' banner on it!!
It's disgusting, disturbing and undefinable..
My fear has given way to her
I know and am very sure
Once upon a time,
she was just a thought in my mind
A scary thought though,
Which crept every now and then,
I did not know the source of it.
But it just haunted me
As if to say,
'This is just the beginning!!'
When she used to wander in my mind,
I'd tremble with fear,
run into my room and hide
underneath my blanket
I could even hear my heart beat
loud and clear,
But never dared to tell about her
to anybody,
hid her within myself
hoping everyday that she would
not be seen tomorrow.
I do not know when and how
But slowly she came out of my mind
Into real life!!
In the form of a human
or to be clear, a witch.
a witch with wings
She would be there by my side everyday
would see everything i did,
sometimes flying, sometimes walking on ground
sometimes outside the room,
sometimes beside me.
yet I did not know who she was
One fine day I made up my mind
It was nine in the night
when I observed her walking by my window
with all the courage that I could ever accumulate
I went to her and stood right in front of her
I looked straight into her eyes,
for the first time and asked,
'Who are you?'
She looked at me, gave a grin and started flying
flying away from me,
deep into the jungle
and I followed her through the wild
with a lamp in my hand and tresses held loose
she stopped right in the midst
turned back and looked at me,
'It is you who have created me!'
she said with a wicked look and a laugh
'your fear that you held within yourself
never sharing your feelings with others
I grew there inside
Now you know!'
I had no more doubts,
no more questions to ask her,
For I knew where she came from..
I quietly walked back home
without giving her another look
tears filled my eyes and vented on
as I walked on
I reached home and ran to my mother's room
I gave her a tight hug and a kiss
I spoke out all my heart to her
and after that I did not know what happened later
But the next day,
there were no signs of the witch
She had disappeared!!
And had surely left behind a BETTER ME!
