Ideas are Bullet Proof

Ever been so consumed by an idea that it was all you could think about?
Ever try to trace back the sinewy web of that idea to its very beginning, to when it was just a mere afterthought?
Ever feel like the idea was literally growing bigger and bigger, until it filled your entire head, until you practically choked on it each time you parted your lips in speech?
Ever feel like the idea was contaminating your brain, so much so that it was the first thing on your mind when you wake and the last thing on your mind when you slumber?
Ever have an idea so venomous, that with every systole and diastole, the poison coursed through your veins?
Ever try talking about it to your friends? You start off with your usual, "So I was thinking again..." and you see the weariness in their eyes, and you can tell that they've heard more than enough of your "idea".
"You think about this too much," and they wave your words away and shake their head.
And you sit there speechless, feeling helpless.
Sometimes it gets better. You'll busy yourself with other things. The idea hasn't disappeared all together, but it's not as bad anymore. You still see it in your peripheral vision, and you keep an eye on it, almost anxiously.
And just when you think you have everything under control, it sneaks up on you and spreads into your neural network, like a drop of ink in a glass of water.

Ideas are bullet proof, but sometimes, do you wish they weren't?
