One Random Thought

A random thought invasion
Drove me to my knees
I questioned if my very sanity         
Was about to up and leave
It gnawed at me incessantly
Like a rat on moldy cheese
It felt like a vice grip on my soul
And wouldn't let me be
I could feel it coursing through my brain
Like earthworms trying to find a home
I screamed desperately for some help
But it's just me here all alone. 
Four shots of whiskey later
I drown out the constant roar
My random thought has retreated
But will return tomorrow for more
