I can't leave me be

Falling into the abyss of twisted thought;
Only from your demented ways that were brought. 
Devouring my soul at my cost;
Creating a hollow holocaust. 

Being that your the being that you are;
Never to out run you; never how far. 
I have tried to sew my eyes shut;
I will always see you; no matter what. 

Trying to erase you is damn near impossible;
Feeding my terror by the spoonful. 
Why is it that you will never let me go?
Always following me, and my shadow. 

When will you let me part with you?
Everything I know you always do. 
Leave me alone an leave me be;
Only a new horizon I want to see. 

I just don't want to live for yesterday;
Always getting in my mind, and want to play. 
Don't you see that I just want to be me?
My last request; my dying plea. 

You consume everything I want to do;
Why is it always me, and never you?

You never have the answers I ask;
It seems that wanting to kill me is your only task.
I sit here behind these walls of mine;
You and I will always combine. 

Take your evil ways and free my soul;
Just for once let me be in control. 
You are worse than the bogymen ;
For it's my battle within!

I have forced myself to contradict myself;
For we are two of ourself.  
In order to avoid conforming to my own taste;
Only for my thoughts I have to displace.
