Inescapable

I’m fearless yet modest and honest, that means I’m peerless and I can address most concerns that trouble most human minds. But there’s this doppleganger, a real interloper that quite insincere to the cries made out of me. What I really mean to say is the most base of men to the cynical, the certifiable and the criminal all love me about the same. I can give a loving crowd to the people who are acutely agoraphobic.

I can see past the skin to the deeper you: which means you can’t avoid me or dodge me like some chick. You can not stop me; only stall me until I come bursting out the seams. I bring pain to those who deny me, the type that you can not avoid. The type that’s hurts your soul, your inner most self. The self that you deny to everyone, including yourself. Even if you try to leave the country, I will hunt you down. Trust me, all these gurus claiming that they have conquered me have not. Just embrace me, and maybe you won’t fel so much pain when itls time for me to hurt you, should I choose to.
