My Ghosts.

My old ghosts are haunting me again. They've crept in without me knowing or hearing. They plant seeds of doubt and fear in my head. I try to block it out, like so many times before... but it's not working. I struggle, but they overcome me, filling me with woe and dread. And all at once, I feel as if I'm drowning. I can't breathe. A tear spill over, hot and dangerous. If I let more fall, they won't stop. But if there's anything I've learned, it's that I when I lose control, it's almost freeing, in a way. So I let them flow, and pray for them to flee quickly, and that they take my ghosts with them.
