By Jacqueline Edwards
You came in uninvited
You never took the time to introduce yourself
Even when another stranger announced you
You took it upon yourself to be silent
As I moved forward as instructed
I was not sure you were still there
But I trusted the strangers who guided me on how to extract you from my fears
My life became chaos while you made my health unclear
You came in uninvited
So I knew you couldn’t stay here
So I prayed for your departure while I took the meds that dared
To rid you from my presence despite the dramatic wear and tear it would take to distract you so you’d no longer reside here
You came in uninvited
That was very clear, but what I never understood was how you got here
Which means you weren’t invited so get out of here.
