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
