As I left work that night and started heading home
On foot, as I always do
Unbeknownst to me
Something was lurking from within my deepest cores

It made itself known
After I had passed the point of no return
It started subtle and increased in intensity

A beast inside that I had contained for so long
Was trying to make it's way out

The harsh reality of this circumstance hit me hard
Sweat pouring down my brow
I picked up the pace
I just need to make it home!
This cannot happen right now!!
No no NO!!!

Keep going
Don't stop
Don't turn back

Will I make it?
Is this really happening?
I understood that this was all my fault
I should have known better but I did it anyways
Although I didn't realize it at the time,
Reality would bring me to this very point

Either an act of a higher power
Or unused karma come to save the day
I made it home with the beast still contained

The reality of eating too much spicy food and having to **** was real
I almost didn't make it
