futile struggles

all the fears that I've pushed away,

comes back to reach even deeper

and takes ahold on every part of me

the places it reached

hangs an unpleasant feeling

I couldn't shake away

maybe it didn't disappear

maybe I just deceived myself

thinking that it's gone for good

when all this time,

I've been struggling

only to find out

it never left
