Self Inflicted

I am the intrusive thoughts

In your head,

The darkness of the night.

I am what makes nights have no moon.

I am the what causes the whimpers

Of sadness,

The quiet tears.


I am the mysterious reflection you see

When looking in the mirror.

I am the perpetrator that caused the

Scars on your body,

The blood on the blade.


I am your faithless ambition,

Your darkest thoughts.

Your shadow is mine,

As I am you.

Your darkest thoughts has birthed my

Existence,

And now I will strip you from your existence.

Once you reach your inevitable Demise,

I will move on to the next Victim.


The author's comments:

I am held hostage to my illness but I am the only one who can be my savior. A thin line drawn between my pain and my joy. I will stay strong but I feel weak, my bones fragile. Here I go again, bound to battle my thoughts for eternity.
