Reach Out And Grasp Nothing But Air

A thought repeatedly occurs to me. Every night, as I drift off to sleep. This thought floats about my brain, tainting my mind. However, when I reach out to grab it, it recedes; escaping my clutch and disappearing into the night. I can never quite tell exactly what it is. Yet it is there, night after night. Teasing me with its persistence. Taunting me, as if it is something of great importance that I cannot grasp. I do not know how to rid myself of it, nor do I know how I would go about doing so. I do know however, that it always leaves me with a feeling of anxiety. It brings with it an uneasy feeling that I cannot rid myself of, as long as this thought is in the vicinity of my skull. I get a queasy feeling in my stomach, and my brain starts to shout. My stomach churns as I begin to hyperventilate. My head starts to hurt as I frantically reach for the thought. Yet the further I reach, the further it withdraws into the back of my mind. I am left feeling extremely agitated and nervous. However, with the thought gone, I am not sure why. I rack my brain, searching for the cause, but it is nowhere to be found. It is hiding somewhere in the deep recesses of my mind, awaiting another time it can come out and haunt my psyche.
