'Second Guess'

  I sense you. 
  Stifled by repression
  Hidden

  But over-obsession threatens through
  Hindsight and prediction 
  Inner confliction
  Beckons you

  When exposed to the unknown
  You attempt to arise
  And as I try and pry the grasp you have inside
  I wonder whether you’re ever going to subside

  Are you just part of me or some separate entity?
  Meticulously analysing every possibility 
  It’s a stark contrast to the past where 
  decisions were made fast without your fragility.

  You’re overgrown, unwanted 
  The weed whose seed
  Is too deeply sown
  To simply curtail

  If your reason for existence is to offer resistance
  Then I refuse to bow at your insistence.
  Persistence is your key, but honestly
  I’m in control.
