An Unwelcomed Guest

This familiar friend
Whom I knew so well
Stiring up hate
And giving me hell

Anger and depression
Is anything but key
He is the root of all evil
And he lives within you and me

How can I run away
Without looking back
Forgiveness is a must
It is what some lack

When I look in the mirror
What do I see
Do I see my reflection
Or him looking upon me

How do I shake his curse
And harvest new seeds
This seems like a CSI case
And I haven't any leads
