It comes

Like a hurricane it comes
Slow but fast
Terrifying then peace
Like a hurricane it comes

Like a tsunami it comes
In waves it comes
It comes
There then gone

When you make it through
You throw a party
But yet it's still there
Never leaving
Never on vacation

Like a tornado it comes
Rushing
Destroying
Then gone

Like a thunderstorm it comes
You see it coming
You feel it coming
Coming from all sides

A mic drop victory
But
It haunts you
Never leaving

Why does it never leave?
Why?
I ask myself so many times
Long ago I lost count

But yet I keep asking
Why?
Why?
It comes

Why me?
Why am I the one suffering?
Why am I the one limited?
It comes

Like a drum solo it comes
Pounding
Loud
Unforgettable

Like a roaring fire it comes
Destroy
It roars
It comes

Hard to describe
I ignore it
But
It comes

I do my best to prevent it
But I have no power over it
That would be like me having the power over the weather
I don't and neither do you

Causes so many problems
It comes
Complications it causes
It comes

Messes me up
In so many ways
Too many ways
But that's another poem for another time

Like a bomb it comes
All the sudden
Out of nowhere
It comes

Like a spot light it comes
Blinding
But still
There then gone

While common
In others
I still feel alone
It comes

Leaving me with no energy
No motivation
Drains me
It comes

I do my best to act normal
Normal I tell myself
But still
It comes

For others
To whom it doesn't come
They don't understand
And I pray they never do

As it rears it ugly head
I want to cry
But, put simply I'm tired
I have tried and tried.
It comes.

Nothing seems to work
I try music
I fight tooth and nail
But everything seems to fail.
It comes.

I have run out of words
My powers of description fails
When it comes
It comes.

When it comes everything stops and holds its breath.
It comes.
