The Recurrent Visitor

How can one single emotion be so quickly encroaching?
How can one single emotion creep up on one so silently that he never sees it approaching?
Stress strangles me…
As a python would its helpless prey.
Stress overcomes my mind and body…
As if it were a plague.
How can one single emotion drive one to insanity?
How can one single emotion blanket itself over me?
Stress does not travel alone…
He brings his best friends along.
Stress comes prepared…
With panic, headache, nausea, sweating, irritability, and so many more; however he is the ring leader, he calls the shots.
I continue to defeat him, but I can count on him to visit me again.
