I am you, you are me

In the shadows deep, where demons roam,
A voice whispers, echoing in the dome.
"No matter what logic dictates, I'm here to say,
I am you, you are me, together we.

In the darkest recesses of your mind,
I dwell, a reminder of the ties that bind.
Together, we form a twisted 'we',
Killing me will also kill you, you can never flee.

I feed on doubt, on insecurities,
Fueling the flames of our impurities.
A cruel laugh echoes in the silent night,
As I remind you of your endless plight.

You deserved the pain, the abuse so cruel,
The suffering you endure, the endless duel.
In the depths of despair, I hold my reign,
For you will never win this fight, in vain.

You are worthless, impure, tainted deep,
Forever tormented, in your restless sleep.
I am the darkness, the voice within,
Feeding on your doubts, your every

But listen closely, hear the faintest sound,
There' s no glimmer of hope, in the depths profound.
For I am a strength untold,
Blocking all paths to hope, the only hand to hold.

With my every taunt, and every jeer,
You know that I am way stronger than you fear.
You have no power to break free,
From the shackles that bind, from the misery.

Can' t reject my whispers, my cruel refrain,
For in your heart I will always reign.
You will be defined by the pain
Never worthy of love, of joy, of acclaim.

So try to stand tall, in the face of night,
Embrace my darkness, never seeing the light.
For within you lies a strength so true,
Which is me because I am you.
