Honesty is overrated

Some thoughts are best kept silent.
Some words when uttered, only cause fear and worry.
This was not my intention.

The dark shadows who taunt me
belong hidden behind doors, for me to struggle
and triumph over or crumple before - alone.

I should not have opened the doors and
let them into the light
to grow, to breed - gaining strength
amongst their allies.

I went for a walk to shake away their grips,
but I feel them lingering - clutching to my ankles.
Perhaps I'll never shake myself free of them
and I must accept a lifelong struggle with these morose ghouls.
Focussing on them only gives them fuel with which
to burn. me and everyone.
