stress

let me go
disgusting abomination
fiending scavenger
praying on the weak nerves
gnawing and grinding
at my anchor of sanity
with those blunted
malicious
carnivorous
teeth

i must cast you off
be gone
be gone
but you have sunken
so deep in the recesses
cracks, folds,
of my aching mind
constantly infringing on my presence

Alas, in a head on attack
i would be engulfed
absorbed in a horrible downward torrent of drak
like being in a swimming pool
of thick crimson
when the drain plug is pulled

so rather than destruction
i must conform to the wishes and expectations
so that i may exceed
and leave this cretin
abandoning this monster
that has been set upon me
never to confront each other again
