I wasn't having a good day when I penned this one...

They lurk,


Hiding in the shadows.

Jealousy
Fear
Insecurity

Awaiting their chance
Feeding opportunistically

The age old enemies of reason and moderation,

Corrosive, destructive and toxic
T
hey await our passing remarks
Our chance actions
To strike

They prowl in the shadows of the mind
The deep recesses from which we recoil



Not wishing to admit to their existence.

Liked this GTTD. 
 
Seems pretty topical just now! 
 
Some unusual punctuation - but that might just be me.

No rhyme and a strange structure, but... I liked it very much. Not sure what else I could say, but I liked it.
