I truly believe
The energy in that house is sour,
Bitter from years of silence
And animosity 
And fear.

It weaves a thick fog
Covering every inch,
Staining everything 
And everyone 
From the inside out.

I felt it today,
Finally with clarity,
I felt the difference.
How could I have never noticed
It’s angry haze bearing down on me?
It's been choking – 
Suffocating every positive inch inside me.
