Dissociative Identity Disorder

I have a friend,
A friend that I never knew off
Not until he showed his face on the mirror
And he talked to me 

"Tell me what's your deepest fear
Is it knowing that you have no control
Or that I'm the one in control
And you just the vessel to pass my message 

Tell me why do you hold back
Instead of lushing out at your adversaries
I could, but why would I fight your battles
You the one who needs to stand up for yourself 

How do you let them call you crazy 
While this is just a disorder 
Why let them look you with those eyes
As if they're better than you 

Stop smiling, you not okay
Show them you also feel
Feel when they talk behind your back
You feel when you not included 

I'll leave you with that for now
Cause I've already taken you hostage
Keeping you here looking at me
And how composed I am" 

Then the friend would disappear
Before I told him bye
But he doesn't look like one for byes
Cause he seems so sure to come back
