Leech
I fear the unknown
You fear being alone
I can feel things others don't
You don't understand me
I tried to tell you about it
You blocked me out
You've buried yourself so deep
Where none can reach
Then there's the leech
It haunts your footsteps
It feeds on your emotions
Before I had been untouched
This being couldn't influence me
Now it has tried
This thing hates me
It has showed me
Images when I wake
A mutated creature
Ready to attack if I move
I froze in fear
Certain it would attack
Growls echoing around me
The image faded
But the presence stayed
It was then I realized
This was what I had felt
All those years of being watched from a far
Now it's in my face
Now I understand
This dark creature
It has been with you my whole life
It has watched and waited
Now it can show me
But I can block it out
Just as you did me
I protect myself from it
Knowing I can't protect you from it
Even when it should be you protecting me
I'm the child, the teenager
You're the adult
But it's as if I'm the adult
You act like a child, a teenager
And the leech loves it
The leech feeds off your jealousy and selfishness
Your childishness
