~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                          This poem is dedicated to a close friend of mine, we share a similar past and present. This is for him. 

                          __________________________________________________________





                          Looking into the mirror,
I see him looking back at me.



                          I don't know how he is,
But I know who he is.



                          He is the lust,
The Hate,
That is inside me.



                          He is the scars on my body,.
I know him all to well,

                          He has me under his spell.
After I eat,

                          He tells me to throw up,
Or to not eat at all.



                          If it was a bad day,
He says,
"Hey, it's ok.
Pull the blade across the skin, 
Let your self-hate in."



                          As hard as I try,
I cannot fight.



                          I see you my friend,
Fake laugh and smile. 



                          Trying to make it a while,
I know he holds you close as well.



                          Me and you are more a like then we think.



                          Together, we shall defeat him.
Together, we shall escape our Hell.
