Don’t leave me alone with myself

Don’t leave me alone with myself
I’m not strong enough to defend myself today
Once you leave, I become her prey
It doesn’t matter what I say
She only wants to make me pay
It’s her only way
But company keeps her at bay
So please stay
Don’t leave me alone with myself
I can’t fight, nor can I flee
You can’t outrun what’s inside of you
In the end, she always catches me
We’re bound together by glue
Put on headphones, volume on max
It’s only a matter of time before my brain cracks
Don’t leave me alone with myself
I can’t cover my ears and ignore her
When the voice comes from inside my head
It always starts with a whisper
Before her screams fill you with dread
You’re better off dead
You can’t even get out of bed
What a miserable life you’ve led
And it just gets worse up ahead!
Don’t leave me alone with myself
I can tell she’s in a bad mood
No matter where I go, I feel pursued
and she never holds back in solitude
It’s more of a beatdown than a feud
Her spiked bat is merely the prelude
Basically, I’m pretty screwed
I don’t mean to intrude
But if you stayed, you’d have my gratitude
Don’t leave me alone with myself, please
I’m scared I’ll give in to this disease

Hello sad girl,
This is a powerful read indeed. You highlight the intricate workings of the mental torture that can leave a person literally feeling like they have monsters in their head. A sense of worthless lays heavy in your lines. You managed to keep the rhythm whilst not hindering on the impactful insight of this experience. So I thank you poetic sister, for crafting a significant subject, that I hope many read in time.
