My mind writhes in agony as I shoulder this overwhelming guilt
My heart pounds against the cage in my chest as I swim in a murky sea of regret
I look in the mirror and I see myself staring back at me
only, its not me. Its someone else, someone I vaguely recognize
He stares at me, daring me to lash out, daring me to deny him
Time appears frozen
An eerie silence fills the air
I blinked. I lost the staring contest.
He won. He has all the power
I can't fight him, I'm not strong enough
He wins, He wins again.
