Dear Shadows, Voices, and Whispers,

I don't know you but you seem to know me well as you have stalked me for over a year and put me through hell. I don't want to know you. You are nothing. You are weak because you cannot break me, and you never will. I catered to you one time, and I beat you. Don't make the mistake of thinking that I will bow to you again. You almost took my life. You ruined me temporarily. But I am stronger than you.

I achieved a lot before you existed. I am ahead of my age because you weren't there. Why are you trying to take this from me?? What did I do to you? I have staked my life on trying to be the man my mother raised me to be and you continuously want to crap on my efforts. I did nothing in life but do what I was supposed to do. I got educated, got a career, and you want to take this from me. Why? I have done nothing wrong. Why can you leave me be? You already destroyed one job for me. Is this not enough?

I'm tired of self harm. Quit trying to get me to do it. I'm done destroying my body for you. You tell me that blood with make you leave, yet you come back for more. You constantly deceive me. You constantly manipulate me. I don't want to hurt myself, I hate it! And I have to bear the scars for what you ask me to do. And no one gives your credit. I am giving you credit. You are a destroyer of lives. You aren't here for me. You never have been. You are the creep that hides around corners, and you are the voice that makes me paranoid. You do nothing for me but hurt me. You are toxic. Go away.

My wife loves me, no matter what you think. My friends do to. Why do you tell me they are against me? Why do you want me to believe that I am nothing? Why do you want me to believe I am hated? You have no idea the lengths I am willing to go through for people and I have demonstrated that. Now people struggle to be around me because your voice is what they hear. I am not who you are trying to make me out to be. I am not a monster. You are. Quit using me as a way to make yourself real. Quit using me to be seen. They don't want to see you. I don't want to see you

Lastly. I don't want to die. Quit trying to push me to that point. Take yourself and your thoughts and plague something inanimate. I am done with you. All these thoughts that you push into my mind are fake. You do not own me. I own me and I evict you from my mind. I do not want to hear anything else from you. Let me live in peace. Quit forcing me to push people away. Quit forcing me to end it. I don't want it. And I am tired of you being in control. I'm tired of being afraid of you. And I am sick of the damage you cause me. Leave me be.

Sincerely,

ChaoticInsanity
