Alone?

I come to you when you are alone
When you are at your most vulnerable
I place those thoughts in your mind
You know the ones
The ones that make you feel inadequate
That make you feel no-one cares
I am your despair at being
The crusher of your soul

When you notice me
And I know you do
You filter out your part in my existence
You pretend that I am not real
That I am a figment of your imagination
No
I am a figment from within you
Because when I come to you
You are alone
Bereft of confidence
All that you are
At that critical moment
Is a puddle of alonity
And I am the discordant ripple on your mind

You fear me?
You should
For I get my strength
From your weakness
You pain
Is my sustenance

So welcome me when you are alone
Else you would not recognise
Your self
