I once got frightened by a centipede getting close to my neck when I was younger.

There once was a young man, who's mind would not allow him rest. Day in, day out, it ran over things that he no had control over. It obsessed over thoughts without rhyme or reason, he'd lose sleep and friends because of his own demons that tormented his very being. Alone, even in the middle of a crowd, in pain that none could see, for he could not show those around him what he knew they would not believe, he trudged on ever more. It was as if a weight had been placed upon his very soul and all he could do was wince a smile. As the years grew, he felt as if he was being torn apart. Soon, he would question his very existence. Though the world has many a grim thing skulking around, being beaten down was to make him blind to the very life in front of him. As he awoke amidst yet another terror, he thought it to be his last. He was to be slain by his own mortal hands, but a new, bright and wonderful thought came. Only by taking his own being into his command had this thought come about. Life, true purpose, reason and the things which his soul could not soon let go, those things gave rise to a new and worthy fight. True? Who knows? Scary? To those who know.
