What Holds Us Back

Still, I find descriptions extraneous.

And in the darkest nights I wander

                Creeping slowly behind your back

                                And in the daylight hours I’ll still be found

           In every hamlet, hovel, or shack

I come to those who need me least

                And haunt them without end

                                I tear at their hearts and eat at their souls

           And in their misery, I’ve grinned

And every day my power grows,

And my host does lose their mind

                                They introspect tirelessly

 Without an answer left to find

I’ve toppled nations and killed many men

                Yet the world can’t live without

                                And as I seep into your thoughts

           You will know that I am doubt
