worry

worry

is the beast that happily manifests itself in the human mind:

 often it begins as something trivial-- 
a knot that hides itself amongst the obstacle of human thoughts,
a knot so small. so insignificant. 
 how could this knot cause so much destruction to a human being?


You can feel it in the depths of your mind. 
Even more so when you are alone.
That tiny little knot, that tiny little DISRUPTION.
A foreign object that sticks out like a sore thumb against the calm waves of emotions.
Like a stark little stain that taints your otherwise immaculate happiness,
A stain that you try to erase
but it only gets worse
it smudges--
bleeds--
seeps--
and spreads further, and FURTHER, AND FURTHER


louder, LOUDER, LOUDER
can you feel it? CAN YOU HEAR IT?!
gnawing at you, eating at you,
NAGGING at you, SHOUTING at you, 
drowning the moans of the diseased city that constantly delusions you
(there is no escape)
 walls that come alive and barricade you from your sanity,
(there is no escape)
walls that enclose you 
 reverberating the cries of the beast
(there is no escape)
a space so claustrophobic
that it suffocates you 
(THERE IS NO ESCAPE)
nobody can hear you scream
nobody
less they see that fear in your eyes
louder, LOUDER, LOUDER-






(silence.)




 confused as you are
as another human being steps into the vicinity of your manic thoughts
breaking the cycle.


There is only so much time before you are alone again
with the beast that waits for you patiently:
before you close your eyes to sleep,
when you are paralysed by boredom,
unexpected moments that will seize you from your sound thoughts


it is a curse that attaches itself to every human mind:
(there is no escape)
until you cross paths with death.
