So, my buddy 'Fear' shows up today.
Tells me He is taking 'Growth' out with a kick.
I asked to see my former sit partner,'Depression'.
Fear's big cousin, 'Failure', promised to send her my way.
I'm not lonely, 'Rejection' lives next door.
atleast 'Disappointment' texts me occasionally.
FEDEX just delivered my birthday present.
Wow!!! I’ve always wanted 'pressure' for a gift.
Thanks 'Unhappy', you truly are my bestie.
Ooh wait!!!!
I hear 'Death' is coming to Loser's party.
See you soon.

The Sequel

So,  FEAR moved back in with me
I let him in,  thought they were delivering take-outs
So,  SANITY had to leave
You can't have two Captains steering a Ship

FEAR came with his twisted cousin, RAGE
She brought a Friend too — HATE
Now they are in my living room
Talking about 'Cleaning shit up'
So here is the plan

FEAR takes out COURAGE,
Replace that whore with a 'kiss up'— MEEK
HATE sneaks up on PRIDE
Turns that flame up

Lastly,
RAGE murders Love in her sleep
Along with everything related.
This is the house I live in
Since you took my hNme with you.
