I have no reason to lie…
Sure, you do… We all do…
Everyone…has heard or lived far worse than anything you’ve ever done…
There’s no way that I could know what you’ve experienced, right?
I couldn’t possibly feel that need
like a thousand hiding voices whispering
“This is who you are”
and you fight the pressure
the growing need rising like a wave
prickling and teasing and prodding to be fed
but the whispering gets louder
until it’s screaming “NOW!”
and it’s the only voice you hear
the only voice you want to hear
and you belong to it
to this shadow self
to this
dark passenger
The Dark Passenger
