29: The Worm

Sometimes things need to be said;
unwelcome thoughts wander in your head.
They arise unbidden and won’t be ignored.
They’ll drive you insane.
You’ll be sick of them and bored.

So tackle them you must,
if you want them to be gone.
Deal with the issue,
say what you must.
Face it now, head on.

If you want your equilibrium back,
your peace to be restored;
you must speak your truth and rid yourself
of this worm that’s eating you.

It is not easy,
you may be afraid,
of the actions that come after;
but you cannot live a happy life,
with termites in your rafters.

Left unchecked nobody knows,
the destruction wrought inside.
You still appear the same,
to those that don’t want to see;
but you feel the damage spreading.
How much longer can you hide?

With a smile stuck on your face,
disaster lurks around the corner;
waiting for a perfect storm,
to blow the roof right off your place.
Such a destructive little worm,
please don’t give it space!
