The Invisible Affliction

There's an assumption that torment was invented by Dante for his Inferno, it's actually a kind of obsession that we ourselves battle with like Othello! Some of us show it in laughter, others in anger: which one do you act upon? I like the ones who jump up and down, thinking they are performing clowns! Torment is also the need to get one's attention, how frustrating it is when all fails expectation! It's another form of calamity worsening things... and spinning in a whirlwind, we break in tears! Another form of torment was my relentless envy towards others wealthier than me, but not happy; and not being rich, I couldn't brag about anything... even luck deserted me, my world was collapsing! I've stopped tormenting myself about my material needs by obliterating insanity, apologizing and making amends; I saw a diverse image of myself in a mirror of stark reality, realizing that fate didn't depend on stars, it was absurdity!
