Why do you keep me awake at night?

Telling me things that I don't want to hear.
Telling me I'm not good enough and that nobody cares
Telling me I can can cry out but no one will hear

Why do you put me down?

Telling me I'm disgusting
Telling me I'm a coward
Telling me I can't do anything

Why do you tell me that you control me?

That I'm wrapped around your little finger
That you have complete power over me
And that I cannot defy you

Why do you tell me I'm trapped?

That I can't do anything without you
And that I can never get rid of you

Why can't you go away?

I hear your voice all the time
Getting louder and louder with each passing day
Slowly but surely making me lose my sanity
Even making me hallucinate

Why do you feel so real?

I see you at every corner I turn
You're never far behind me

Why do you feel so real?

You feel as real as I am
I'm slowly slipping away from reality
My mind's constantly playing tricks on me
Making me experience these real things
Yet you're only as real as I make you out to be

I don't understand why this is happening
Why my mind plays tricks on me?
Why you're here?
The only thing I know
Is that I can't let you go
Because you are not a separate being
You are...me
