'the Voice In My Head'

I could not tell what it was From a distance, it looked to be some sort of bug As it inched towards me It magnified in size Thinking I was high, I went to rub my eyes And it got bigger than a ship This was unusual and quite terrifying I knew I had to get moving This would start the wild chase Between myself and this extraterrestrial being- Or perhaps he is of the supernatural spirits I think I figured it out This was the voice in my head- The one that started out innocently; As my imaginary friend Who watched me transcend into the man that I am I have drowned in a neurotic ocean of fear and anxiety And let me guess, you have arrived to make things worse, haven't you? You are only here to stomp on me when I am down You know I am vulnerable, But tonight I am running I do not know who you are Maybe, you are here to physically guide me As you did not do enough from inside of me Regardless, I am making an escape And never coming back I do not need you To keep me on track Or to watch over me in class Those days are over And your presence should be no more
