Taking Over Me

He's always watching.
He's always around.
But he won't be found.
He never leaves.
His voice is loud and clear,
But no one else hears.
Taunting laughs and discriminating
Eyes. The whole lie unfolds
So perfectly to his liking.
I'm always striving to escape,
But I choke on these words to
Safely continue my way out.
I still lose to him.
This defeat never ends, even though
He's hardly trying, I'm bleeding it out
But I still lose.
He's within, he's watching,
He's me.. I gave up..
I don't intend to fight a war
I'll never win.
He's taking over me, and I
Can't win.
