I awoke to a shadow..
Who are you; what do you want?
”I want all your money”
All of it?
“yes, that way you won’t have to worry about money anymore”, and I want your identity too”
What do you need that for?
“Give me your past, your memories, your hang ups, your ego, your hurts and heartbreaks; all of it, including your pride and your parents. Pack all of it into a heavy suitcase and hand me your baggage so you can be free as a songbird.
You are stealing everything from me, yet you make it seem like a favor!
“While you are at it, hand me your life! I want your whole life as you live it now and your loyalty too. Slip into my pocket and from now on, you can travel with me.”
But who are you? You can’t expect me to slip out in the middle of the night with a stranger!
“I am no stranger, fool; you are estranged and a fake. I am your Soul, the real you. You don’t exist; you just thought you did; come with me and quit wasting the night!”
