Poem II

OK  here's another poem. I tried something new this time, so I'm hoping it works. Also, I need to find my thesaurus. Feedback much welcomed


Crawling up to my head
Slinking, crawling, creeping
Making its way to the core
It begins to dig and slurp
Slimy, dark, determined

Once inside it lays its eggs
Black, hard, stinking
It finds a sturdy place to stay
A place of control
Gripping, pricking, cold

It takes my thoughts
Treacherous, demented, dangerous
My brain tries to fight
Every thread is taut with effort
Pulling, pushing, pulsing

To defeat it I must do something
Courageous, drastic, brave
I tell others about its existence
I take the antidotes of all colors
Smooth, charged, melting

I take it day by day
Hard, jolting, scary
The monster loses his grip
I gain more ground every day
Sweetly, softly, fully
