Please don't awaken her
Cease your drumrolls and applause
Please let her be
Do not pull her out of her slumber

She scares me
to my very existence
Her presence
should not be sought

Every night I had quenched her thirst
Listening ardently
to her never ending accusations
and pretending to care

I wish not to go back
to that state of utter dismay
I wish not to hear
one more song of pain

Without her
I have been at peace
Do not disrupt
the tranquility that I achieved

You are unfamiliar
with her constant bickering
for those were reserved
for me and me alone

Her hate and disgust
coated with sympathy
had more than once
driven me to a knife

Her insanity is a secret
that I tried to hide
To keep her within my head
was a mistake, it seems

Chaining her up
was my last resort
She screamed and clawed
but at last she was gone

So do not wake her
the one that made me question my sanity
the one that made me cry for reasons unknown
the one that I have buried deep within my mind

For she is me
but the version that scares my very being.
