Trust me, once I get you, I will continue to feed.
I will make you constantly want,
Even when you are asleep, you I shall haunt.

"Do you know me?" My name is Anger,
Trust me, once I get you, I will fill you with rancour.
I will make you forever scream and shout,
By the end of your life, with all you would have fought.

"Do you know me?" My name is Jealousy,
Trust me, once I get you, I won't let you live restfully.
I will make your insides burn,
Till you reach a point of no return.

"Do you know me?" My name is Hatred,
Trust me, once I get you, I will ensure from all you have drifted.
Aloof I will make you from all you love,
Yourself too you will dislike most of.

"Do you know me?" My name is Doubt,
Trust me, once I get you, I will make you forever think about,
Even your own shadow you will mistrust,
Till all look at you with disgust.

"Do you know me?" My name is Sorrow,
Trust me, once I get you, I will only tears on you bestow.
You will wallow in your sadness, so deep,
Till dark shadows begin to around you creep.

"Do you know me?" My name is Depression,
Trust me, once I get you, I will only control you by posession.
Of all I will prove to be the most dangerous,
Eating your insides slowly, purely cancerous.

"Do you know me?" My name is Love,
Trust me, once I get you, I will make you as peaceful as a dove.
One small step towards me please do take,
And see all of the above I will make look fake.
