The Me Underneath
I am distracted
Needs boil to the surface
My mind wanders
Imagination merges with the real
I lose focus
The me underneath stirs
Hibernating no longer
Never really gone
Still with a voice
He hijacks my mind
In honesty, I miss him
That’s why he says around
Never evil enough to just die
A ghost or spectre that lives
He becomes me
My weakness he knows
Scars he shows
He loves to see me squirm
I almost sit back and rest for the day
Let him drive for a while
It would be easier
Soon he will sleep again
Don’t know when or for how long
I will be me again
Still with him there
The me underneath
Needs boil to the surface
My mind wanders
Imagination merges with the real
I lose focus
The me underneath stirs
Hibernating no longer
Never really gone
Still with a voice
He hijacks my mind
In honesty, I miss him
That’s why he says around
Never evil enough to just die
A ghost or spectre that lives
He becomes me
My weakness he knows
Scars he shows
He loves to see me squirm
I almost sit back and rest for the day
Let him drive for a while
It would be easier
Soon he will sleep again
Don’t know when or for how long
I will be me again
Still with him there
The me underneath

I know these words ...all too well.
So many emotions and thoughts surface.
This very thing has been so magnified in me, as of late.
I have been thinking of stepping away and detoxing, just to see if it might help. Something I am still considering.
You have been posting so many of my own thoughts. It is a bit surreal actually.
Great, honest write. 💓

I tried to do something a little different in topic and format. I think it came out okay. This wasn't meant as a downer, just a reflection of my mindset at the time (my day yesterday). Thanks for your words. They are valued.

Struggling against a piece of ourselves is something everyone identifies with. Its something we take up everyday. Fortunately, most days aren't that bad of a struggle. I thank you for you read and review. I hope you do well in any of your own struggles in life.
