Evil Twin

How do you destroy a monster without becoming one?

To not end up like the thing you hate the most.

I ask this question as my time is almost done.

As I watch my personality become a ghost.

I watch the smile on my face become fangs

I see my eyes without their humanity

My heart ices through the pangs

This facade brought me to insanity

If I am a sliver of my true self, it seethes

It is an evil twin but internal and inhumane

The thoughts stay in my mind even if I leave

Because never being good enough haunts me night and day

The people are satisfied and the guests leave the house

As my evil "twin" and I play a mental game of cat and mouse
