The Creeper
It is the creeper
as soon as it enters
the consciousness
it will settle upon the chest
slowly it steals the breath
gnaws upon fears, hopes, and dreams
a weight that tells you when it is there
you squirm and twist
trying to break free
wicked claws dig
into the skin
eating away inch by inch
it only grows
tail twisting round
acidity salivating
once begun
panic sets in
and your psyche thrashes
so the creeper feeds
growing fatter with every gnash
hungry, angry teeth
and a belly never full
the weight grows heavier
when you are near to break
do you defeat the creeper
or does the creeper
consume you?
