Me

I'm still here
Like the dream that haunts you
Like the nightmare that keeps you afraid of sleep
I'm the torment of regret
That for which you are ashamed
I'm the pain of a slit wrist
That which must be felt because you can't feel
I'm the demon that causes wrong
That which possesses and causes your wrath
I'm the spirit you can't control
Your indignation and addiction, your misery
I'm every thought and action of disgrace
That for which you must apologize, that for which you are punished
Unapologetically
Your vexation untamed is mine
I'm why you feel comfort in happiness
I'm your chaos and your sadness
Your frown and your crooked grin
Scowling
Terror and horror are me
I'm your blood spilled, the screams of your innocence
The guilty one
I'm all your displeasure and discomfort, your dismay

That's why I'm still here
I must remain
I'm the arch fiend, the annoyance of your delight
A sensation I can't know
A sensation you won't know either
