Beware the 3 silent phantoms.
Like dust they appear.
Seeming so real.
Seeming so authentic.
Masquerading as you and your identity.
They convince you, utterly.
And silently steer you
From the shadows.
The 3 Phantoms:
- “I Must Have…”
- “I Cannot Stand…”
- “I Ought To…”
Those trusty phantoms.
So solid.
So real.
So unwavering.
…
But then, one day
POOOF.
They disappear.
Leaving no trace.
Only new tenants.
Who are just as demanding.
But the one who knows they’re there.
Never leaves.
But just stays.
Watching.
Seeing.
Feeling.
Hearing.
Knowing.
Safe.
Permanent.
