Eating Me

There is a little gremlin inside
whom I imagine looks like you
who yells when I eat
who tells me what to do
and makes me mess up
then yells at me then too
he eats at my insides and makes me feel sick and weak and scared
he makes me cry when I shouldn't and gives me this horrible hollow feeling
It's destroying me
one day it will kill me
you two will be best friends
you've always liked the people who tear me down
it's eating me from the inside out
feeding on my grief and pain
and I can't fight it with no food or expelling what has been eaten
I can't battle it with silver blades and bloodshed
It WILL destroy me
It WILL kill me
no one will listen about it
even though they all see
IT'S EATING ME
