Second Shadow

I wrote this poem awhile ago and it was considered one of my best. A few people have asked if this is about a stalker, and no. When I was writing this I had in mind ones own inner darkness

Why are you always stalking me

Mocking me

Telling me what to say

Telling me not to stay

Whispering thoughts into my mind

Making me take one step forward

And two steps behind

I see you sitting there

Watching me

Not caring about what I have to say

Always just launching me into the fray

I see you pulling the strings

You like f*****g with my head

You make me wish that I was dead

But, no

I'll fight back

I stave off your attack

Because I need to be free

I need to be me

I'll cut your strings

I'll silence your voice

Give me back my choice

You've corrupted my mind for far too long

I'll send you back to the shadows

Where you belong

Where you can't hurt me

But I know you'll find a way

Every time I make you disappear

I know in the shadows of my mind you're still near

But I'll be ready

I'll hold steady

So give me your best shot

I'll throw it back again without a second thought
