It appears
When I am completely unaware.
It takes over my body
At the worst possible moment.
I try, try, and try to keep It at bay,
But It doesn’t listen to me.
Instead, It makes me listen
To what It has to say.
When I fail, It taunts me
Like an angry bully on the playground.
It repeats,
You can’t do anything right!
You are a failure!
Nothing you do will ever work!
Just quit!
Like an angry boss at work.
I can’t do anything to stop It.
It is the snake and I am the mouse;
It consumes me with no remorse.
It controls me like a marionette doll,
But I am the one that can cut my strings.
I am the only one that can control what I do.
I will not let It take over my life again.
I will stand tall over It
Like a boxer after a hard fought victory.
I cannot let this overbearing weight
Loom over me my entire life
Because I know there’s no way I could live
In constant fear and doubt.
It will return again for a rematch,
But I will knock It out over and over again
Until I am finally free of It.
