Never expect the unwelcome guest to wait
for an invitation.
Without hesitation, it will knock on your door.
As it approaches, it already senses your fear.
Perusing every corner of your mind until it finds
buried emotions on which to dine.
Then, it will proceed to make a banquet of every mistake
you made.
You can cry, you can scream, you can run or try to hide, but
the unwelcome guest will not leave you in peace.
Only it decides when it is time to leave.
However, never be fooled.
It will return at a later date
and once again, have you in tears.
