We all face battles within ourselves. I know I do.

The Reflection In The Mirror


And though I try and run,
I still hear it calling me.
And though I close my eyes and cry,
I still hear it calling me.
'I am everywhere,
I am everyone,
You cant hide from me...
For I am death.'

As I run away I can hear it laughing at my attempt.
I cant stop.
Wont stop.
Can I?
Will I?
I hear his footsteps behind me as I hit a dead end in my mind.
He puts his hand on my shoulder and looks at me,
Eyes dark and empty, I see that its a reflection of me...
He speaks again to me as I start to fall into his glare of my own ways.
'I am everywhere.
I am everyone.
You cant hide from me, For I am death. I am you.'
