Therapy Bits

In the shadows where silence creeps,

A whispered dread in the mind that sleeps,

Little whispers of a hidden plight,

Parasites lurking, veiled from sight.

Creeping, crawling, beneath the skin,

Tiny invaders, where nightmares begin,

Clutching at flesh with their minute embrace,

An unseen horror, an insidious chase.

They dance in the dark on the edge of the keen,

In that soft, anxious place where few dare to glean,

Feasting on worry, as the heart starts to race,

Every itch a portent, every scratch an embrace.

Ghostly tendrils weave through the air,

With every pulse, fear’s icy snare,

What feeds on the living, with hunger so vast?

A suitor of shadows, an echo of past.

In the corners of thought where the mind starts to strain,

Lurks the gnawing specter, the echo of pain,

Grasp at the certainty, slip through the veil,

Horrors of nature, a whisper, a wail.

Yet in this dark heart, let courage ignite,

For knowledge is power, a beacon of light,

To face down the shadows, confront the unseen,

With every brave step, reclaim the serene.

For though they may linger just out of reach,

Life battles the shadows, a powerful teach,

And in the embrace of the fear that they bring,

Find strength in the struggle; let hope break the spring.
