the dog that bites me today will not go away

The dog bites me today
It bites me hard
Right there on my hand
My legs my neck
I am running away
Panting
Breath by breath
Step by step
Trying to go
Faster and faster
The dog runs faster
Captures me eventually
Shows its disturbing face
It looks so subtle
Nice
One would be tempted
To caress its skin
To embrace its presence
It looks at me
Deep to my very core
Stab right in the hole
That I’ve been trying to cover
I always run away
I stay away
For I always know
It bites
It bites hard when you least expected
No matter where
No matter how
No matter you accept it
Or not
It follows you
Breath deeply behind your neck
Watch your every move
It is you
The dog
Is you
The reality
Is you
You can’t run away from the dog
The dog is there
It’s there
It is a part of you
No matter how many times
You try to close your eyes
And set it aside
It is you
The dog
Is you
