What are you

I am you and you are me can't you see

A voice erupts from the same mouth
In the darkness of the house

Why are you here

I am here because you fear
You are weak and you leak
I cannot leave till I see
You hang from the ceiling
Or you are overdosing
Or you out the gun to your head and pull the trigger

The voice speaks from my mouth
As it rips at my mental health

Fuck you

To you too

My mouth curves unknowingly
As I stare stoically
A laugh from within
Releasing shadow of sin
A man in the corner
Laughs in the shadow

Leave me be oh spirit

Why do you fear it

The silencer in the room can be felt
As the rain began to pelt

Man now fading
As he asks one more time

Why fear it

As I went to sit
I smiled
The man compacts and re enters
As he goes deep in the centers
