Possession

I am feeling like there is no cure
I am feeling like this is the only way
Finding that you are not who you are
Is a scary thing to obey
Please understand I can't control myself
I am not who I claim to be
I can't sense what I thought I could
I can't hear, feel touch, or even see
My words are not my own
Someone is always controlling me
I don't know who they are
Or what they even want me to be
I'm scared i never existed
I'm afraid of all my mistakes
Because I know they're not my own
And that someone is trying to hurt me
When I had fallen, I had gotten back up
But now I'm not sure this is so
Because now I have no idea who I am
As I'm walking down this lonely road
Am I a ghost, a monster, a demon in disguise?
What did I do to deserve my life stolen from me?
I can't be another soul
Because my own is all I knew
So now I am stuck between what I knew and what I don't
Please save me if you can
I don't know if it's possible
I just need someone to help me along
I already feel it taking over
As if it truly is who I am
I don't know what it is though
Or why it's after me
Am I slipping away?
Or is this what I was all along?
Is this really who I'm meant to be?
I'm confused and scared
I'm angry and afraid
Please don't let this be my last day on earth
Whoever I'm supposed to be...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is a poem about me fighting with myself. It about me feeling like I'm possessed because there's a part of me that comes and goes and I don't understand what it wants. I know that it's my inner devil and angel pulling me and pushing me. I know we all have this inside us.
