Words of a Ghost

I don't know who put 
these words in my mouth,
they are not mine; are they?
That face in the mirror;
isn't that me?
But, these words inside of me,
who do they belong to?
There is a ghost in here
and I think I am supposed
to be afraid of her.

Nothing to fear maddy.. I will be there.. The ghost may seem like a friend but can merely be a curse...
