Malicious

 

I am the thing that crawls around your brain

That whispers madness, disregard, distain

I am the darkness when you long for light

I make you dismal in the small hours of night

I am the words the swirl ‘round your head

Repeating remarks others once had said

I am the obscurity of visions, vile, untrue

That keeps you from seeing the momentous you

I am the malicious thoughts you deliberate

That twist and twine your hopes and bind your fate

I am what is keeping you from starting life anew

I am nothing but your thoughts. I am you.
