Knots and Gut Instincts

I have this, this knot

Sitting right in my gut

Or maybe it's in the very back of my mind

Or it could be both

Honestly I don't know exactly where it is

It's just eating me alive, begging to be let free

To grow and fester and feed

On my loneliness, or my fear

I still haven't figured out which

But it's there, always there

Taunting me, begging me to give in

But I can't, I won't

Too much to live for

Too much to do

It's my fault

I let it do this to me

But I just haven't figured out how to get rid of it

Alcohol, nicotine, the blade

They numb it, the pain, well sort of

But without them it's always present

Maybe just dormant for now

But it doesn't go away

I feel it watching me, hating me, judging me

When will it go away?
