it latches onto your clothes
it claws at your face
it keeps you from running
and from keeping the paceyou can't hide from it
it's everywhere it can be
it's not just a thought
it's a parasite, like ivyit snakes up the balcony
it taps on the sill
it casts shadows on the wall
and up your spine, a chillyou can't outrun it
that wouldn't be possible
you can't outrun conscience
and you never, ever will
