Self-loathing

Oh, self-loathing,
My constant friend,
You're my companion,
To the bitter end.

You cling to me,
Like a shadow in the night,
Too strong to run from,
Too hard to fight.

You feed on my soul,
You dim my light,
And leave me numb,
Without any might.

I hate you,
Yet I cannot let you go,
You're part of me,
I've come to know.

We dance this dance,
A sad ballet,
I'm getting tired,
Everyday.

Until we part,
I'll hold my ground,
And try to hear a different sound.

The voice of love,
Of hope,
Of peace,
My heart is telling me to release.

I'll take your lessons,
But not your pain,
For I want to live,
Not just remain.
