It Had Me For Dinner

It grabs you unawares

It moves quickly

In no time 
It encompasses your entire being.

It devours you 
Takes you deep inside

In its black, bottomless hole.

It sucks you in

choking you
on your own breath.

I succumbed to it today.

It consumed me in all its ferocity.

It fed into my head and brain.

Made me its slave.

I became its slave.

Didn't know what to do with it.

I wanted it out

Quickly
Yet the more I tried

The more it devoured me

I was scared! I was worried!

From me I knew it would devour another

and then another and another...

I hid myself so it would not pass on

I locked myself up

I spoke in mono-tone

Lest, I spit out something!

It was Anger! and Today, It had me for dinner!
