#100MonstrousPoems 68: Dybbuk

Let me in
It is difficult, navigating
Everything,

It’s a stress
It’s a mess
That you’d do

Anything
To get out of,
But you don’t:
You just stay, stuck here
Never fear
I’m here.


I am the Dybbuk

And I want to stop the pain
I will take
All the weight
And you’ll never weep again.
It’s alright, do not fight
There’s so much for you to gain
Things will never be the same


If you just let me in.

Let me step into your light
Because
I never got a burial
There’s no need for a fight
I don’t mean to get hysterical
I wouldn’t even be here
If you hadn’t called to me.

And your troubles would be over
If you’d only try to see

That you should let me in.


I will take your life
Since you really seem to hate it
And I’ll live your life
Even more, I’ll celebrate it.
I’m a Dybbuk, I am you and yes, you know that you are fated so just

Let me in.


There are folks
Who will go
Up to heaven.
With their mothers
Some get trapped
On this plane
And I am one of those others
I’m not ugly or malign
I just want you to be mine
I’m a Dybbuk and it’s time
for you to
Let
Me
In.
