Something Wicked This Way Comes

Something black creeped up inside me today.
Something dark was lurking inside me today.
Something curious.
Something unpleasant.
And warped. It twisted inside my mind.
Something foul swirled beneath the surface today.
Something wrong.
It engulfed my heart. I tasted it in my throat.
It crawled its way toward my eyes. I was spinning.

What was it? This blackness?
Jealousy? Nervousness?
Yes.
This jealous darkness. Squirming within me.
Unfortunate as it is. Necessary perhaps.
For me to see. That it was there waiting.

And now. This twisted feeling.
Is gone.
Thank you. For someone's words. For their thoughts.
Thank you. For your patience. For your love.
Thank you. For being You. For letting me be me.
Thank you.

Thank you.
