A friend of mine wrote this, thought some might relate.
Sometimes at night loneliness slips up on me like leprosy And my problems loom large like a famished beast that soon will devour me. I can feel her mocking me behind my back. I know it is just an illusion some sort of a delusion for I know that no problem is really THAT big that people of all walks of all ages have worried about problems that didn't amount to shit. I worry about my mind sometimes I'm afraid confusion is settling in I can stave her off for a little while But that beast is gonna get me gonna eat me up and I can't even lift my mind to resist.
