My Boogeyman isn't as he seems

He lives within my lifeless body

He doesn't hide, though he isn't seen

Haunting me, his voice disembodied

He came to me in my young years

It seems like lifetimes ago

The image in my mind so dear

Is a memory, something I used to know

He captured my reflection in that mirror upon the door

He mocks me endlessly

Screaming "You're not worth it anymore"

Holding me for eternity

He gives me a blade

I start to see blood

He says "isn't this great?"

As the red liquid turns into a flood

He has won the battle

Assisted by the media

His words, in my mind, had rattled

He became my anemia

I'm gone, I'm dead

Fitting to me like a shoe

He killed me, drowning in red

My Boogeyman was my body image issues
