the inner killer

no matter where i am
who i see
i can't help it
i picture them dying
brutally and painfully
seeing myself
with that evil smile
and the bloody knife
how could i stop it
or do i want to
it feels like it's not me
but that face is clear as day
it's the face of my other side
the monster i keep hidden
one half of blank person
the beast i hold away
but i can't be rid of him
one cannot exist without the other
but were in a constant battle
to erase him is to erase myself
and to say he isn't real
it says i don't exist
but he is me…
he's the killer i hide...
