He is always watching
Waiting
Wanting to come out
Wanting to suffocate
You
They don’t see him
Stirring
The pot of pain
That brews inside
Me
Hiding him away from
Them
He isn’t welcome
In the eyes of
Others
I love him yet hate
Him
I want him but
Want him to go
Away
He is me and I am him
Together
Not by choice
But by birth
Unfortunately.
