It enters your mind; not agressive at first
You think about it once or twice a week, not for long
You distract yourself easily.

---**---

It becomes more agressive with time
It starts a war inside your head
You against the intruders
You're still strong and doesn't give in to them.

---**---

The intruders attack you with their heavy artillery
Showing you unpleasant images undermining your defenses...triggering you
It weakens you...you think about it more each day

---***---

The intruders grow stronger
You can't barely manage to fight them
But still in the faint hope they go away

---**---

The intruders become parasites
Draining you...consuming you
You don't think about anything else
You can't focus
You wish not to wake up until it disappears on their own
But you can't (you have a job you can't afford to lose)

---**---

After a while you can't sleep properly because you have nightmares about it
You wake up trembling...with those images passing in front of your eyes
You have no peace...sleeping or awake.

---***---
The intruders will stop only when you give up the fight and give yourself in
to them.
It's the only way to have your sanity back.

(but it will be temporary...you know the intruders will strike again)
