Not to Sleep by a Window

I could never sleep by a window. I would always... hear things. I know I heard these things, no one else ever did. If I told them they would just look at me weird. I wasn't crazy, I was hearing things.

My bed is right by a window, something I don't like. I can't fall asleep right away. But when I close my eyes I hear things.

Sometimes it just a dog barking like crazy or the wind blowing on a windless night.

Or it's someone crying or screaming. I've heard people scream and cry in the night. No one else has, only I. Does that mean I'm crazy? I don't know.

I fall asleep anyways, thinking of these that make me happy. Things that make me laugh. Or... things that scare me. My dreams come to me as I fall asleep.

I see myself sleeping in my bed, the window curtain's pulled back. There's a shadow in the window... something is watching me.

I then wake up to the morning, or more like past 4:00 PM. Maybe my problem is staying up so late, closing the curtains or looking out the windows.

I stare at windows, scared someone is watching me. I don't want anything watching me. So I head up to my room for a night's or early in the morning sleep.

I have a dream again where something is watching me sleep. It watches me through the window. My window, even my sister's window. It watches me in any window, no matter where I sleep.

It's always watching me...
