I Am Part of You

I am part of you

 

Hello, I’m here

You have created me

I am you

Your pathetic state of mind has created me

In vivid living color

So real you think I am someone else

But, I am not

I am you

I do all the things that you want to do

But you’re too afraid to do

I am your alter ego

Your dark side

I’m the one who screws your girlfriend

I’m the one who will tells your boss to kiss your ass

I am the one who you thought about never being

But slowly and surely you are

Each day I pull you into the dark side

More and more

A little each day your goodness becomes darker and darker

I am infiltrating every aspect of your of your mind, body, and soul

I will take your spirit away and make it darker and darker

Until it becomes absent of all color and goodness

I will make you a cold feelingless drone of yourself

You try to say I am not part of you

But I am

 That is the beauty of it all

I am part of you and your mind

The professionals can not help you

Because I will always be here

Just give up the fight

I will win

No matter how hard you try

You will fall to the dark side of yourself

It happens to everyone

Just accept it and move on

I will help you hit bottom

Once there you can do whatever you want

At that point you are back in control

My job is done once you hit hard

I will retreat to the recesses and dark depths of your mind

So I can live in peace…So you can too
