Inferior Feelings

It's like a poison

creeping through your body

you don't know what it is

but it's causing you harm

 

it's squeezing your head

so you can't see straight

making it pulse

and pound in your ears

 

you clench your fists

and hold your breath

as the invisible monster

devours its prey

 

You do all that you can

to prevent yourself from exploding

There's nothing you can do though

Until the monster has had enough

 

As the venom is released

your body relaxes

and your mind is at ease

until the next inferior visit
