The Visitor

it comes, scratching its nails down 

the blackboard of my psyche

it grips and won’t let go of me 

dragging me down

shoving me around,

my anxiety is cage I can’t break,

it takes, and takes again

it’s a sick and twisted game

I never planned to be a part of,

I curse the day I unwittingly 

let it across my threshold

if only I was told 

it’ll be up to no good

if only I could

erase this schism

and replace it with

a calm inner wisdom,

because of my twister visitor

they now have to administer 

a higher dose to numb the fear

but however much I take

it’s still here 

stapling reminders

deep inside my gut

pulling me into a rut 

and here I am admitting

this fucked up life

just isn’t worth living

with this bastard 

constantly visiting

and never leaving me alone
