Very interesting poetry Kim. While I was reading this all the hundreds of things in my mind that I wish I could get rid of were haunting, my dad for one, when he said, "I don't think you're my son."
Everything dumb everyone has ever said that affected me, like "what makes you think you can write a book." aND the beat goes on, goodluck on getting rid of whatever. I've learn to live with everything haunting. It's not the thought, it's what a person does after the thought that makes them the person, good or bad, happy or sad,

Kimmy, you have an absorbing capacity to express a deep emotional state of being allowing your reader to share a personal experience with the distinctive character of honest, narrative expression ...

Hmm, reminded of the apostle Paul struggling to rid himself of the thorn in his flesh but we are not told what it was. He had to live with it. Some things stick in our head like tunes we dislike but cannot help humming them or hearing them silently within.
The use of the second person in this poem clearly tells me that you are constantly engaging with this entity. Contending with it rather. Has it gone yet, as I write this?
