Dominated

Dominated

Like a parasite

It attached itself to me

Became a part of me

Started growing

Inside me.

At first

I barely noticed it

So tiny and insignificant

But as it grew

It began to sap my strength

No longer able to be hidden.

Slowly at first

But then rapidly

It began to alter my mind and body

Preying on my rational mind

Morphing and shaping

My thoughts,

Behaviours and body;

Clouding my vision

Eating away at my sanity...

It is no longer

Just a quiet voice

In the back of my mind -

It infiltrates every thought

Every action

Every waking moment …

All I can find these days

Are occasional flashes

Of reality

Brief flickers of genuine awareness...

Before my mind becomes

Warped and twisted,

Ensnared

Once more.
