Invisible Enemy Whispering In My Ear.

Please stop speaking
Stop telling me what to do.
You're there every day
Every night, everywhere
Planted in the shadows
Hiding in the trees.

You tell me to do things
Some things I may not like
To slice so deep
To wound myself
Draw out my tainted blood.

Then I have to hide it.
You like that game I know.
Hide and seek with humans
See if they go unknown.

No one sees through me though,
You'll always lose that game
No one suspects a single thing.

But the problem is, that you don't give in
You continue to provoke.
You haunt and taunt and scream to me
You just won't leave me be.

One day I'll learn to ignore you,
To let my wounds heal up.
I'll tenderly touch my scars at night
Knowing I fought through.

I know one day I can achieve it
Be rid of you for good
I'll bear the war wounds from the darkened days
As my everlasting marker
Of what you made me do.
