Not once but twice
Not easy but harder
Not so long ago
It comes as a hurricane
It shakes my skinny body
Inviting shivering in me
Like a loner tree on wilderness
It uproots me
It is always tempting
I sit on bench
Expecting it to cease
But when I rise
It circulates me like teeth around tongue
It has thorns
Very sharp as slayer dagger
Vicious like a machine gun
I stayed at different locations
Hoping to get far from it
But it always follows me
It’s like the shadow of myself
Now am acclimated
I have accepted it to be part of me
It’s invisible
Untouchable
I only stay strong now expecting it to come
People call it maturity
Sometimes I go and strike it
People refer to it as taking a risk
Seem now everyday is risky to me
