Ghost In Me

Yesterday, I met the ghost inside of me He told me he’s from Tennessee Why had he been here, if in a day he’d disappear To me all of it was unclear and yet I did not fear I had to know the reason that made him be Here. If only the future I could foresee I did not see the relevance of his existence I wanted him to leave without any evidence Was it because I feared the thought Of him bringing out something I distraught Picturing the manifestation of my mind Suddenly he reappeared leaving me confined This feeling was familiar I thought Was it real or was it naught I did not want to do something I repined With so many clues around I felt blind I wanted to know who he was and kept him by my side So I decided not to ward him off with my evil eye An epiphany waiting to strike my conscience I got from my mind many responses It doesn’t take an Albert Einstein to realize this He wasn’t a stranger from the abyss I was so reckless I hadn’t realized then, That it was my long lost friend that I never saw again
