Imaginary Friend

I can see him clearly in my 
head.
He's a fragmented image 
against the wall.
Like a fly beneath the swatter.
His voice, I hear, makes my 
skin crawl.
Sometimes I wonder why I 
even bother.
Sometimes I'd rather not live at 
all.

He's a figment brought to you 
by delusions.
He's only real to me.
He'll never reveal himself to 
you.
His echoes cause contusions.
He only speaks to me.
He'll never talk to you.
His voice brings me 
convulsions.
He's a danger to me.
He's a danger to us all.

Get him out of my head.
Help me now.
This very well could be the end.
He wants things to die down 
now.
Get him out of my head.
He's my imaginary friend.
