I am with you wherever you go. I cannot be seen by anyone but you. I am only around when you are weak - I am the reason you must be strong. I am familiar to those around you. I am uninvited, but I have the key. I come to life as the light is siphoned from your eyes. I am anti-social and I hide away. I am selfish - I want you to myself. I am bleak when you have hope, I am the reality piercing through your fantasy. I am that bitter taste of regret as you swallow your pride. I am the refilled prescription, I am the angst against filling it. I am the quiet in an open crowd. I am the noise in your seclusion. I am everything that you see no matter how far you go to escape. I am your hopes and dreams - in the open for everyone to witness - bursting into flames, and you're forced to sit and watch. I am the presence behind you waiting for you to fall. No matter where you are, I am with you wherever you go.
