"Are you ready?"

"Ready for what?"

"To see yourself for the first time."

"I don't understand you."

"Are you ready to see and know yourself for the very first time?"

"What are you talking about?, I do know me."

"Sure you do."

"I'm sorry and what's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing at all if you're not ready, although I can't say that I'm surprised."

"Are you serious?!" With a look of irritation on her face.

"What?", "It's not my fault that you're fearful of yourself."

"And how would you know that?"

"Easy, the same way I know how self-loathing and jealous you can be but, you're not even ready to peek around the corners of your own despair to even find out. So, why bother to even continue with your meaningless questions?"

"I am not!"

"Are you honestly sure about that?".....On second thought don't answer that, I can see your lies."

"Lies?!"

"Yes, lies...are you embarrassed? That I can see every lie you've ever told plastered on your soul as if it were tattooed on?"....."It's okay we'll work on that."

"Work on what?"

"Do you really have to ask?.....of course you would seeing as how we haven't even started."

"Started what? and Who are you to judge me as if you're somewhat better?"

"Not better....just someone you secretly want to be, someone you're too scared, too spineless to be, See right now you're hurt, you want to call me everything you should be calling yourself in a tearful rage but, you'd rather stand there with your poor facade of a crooked smile that everyone can see right through."

"SHUT UP!"

"What's the matter?, did I strike another nerve?..... You seem so guarded, who hurt you?", "Was it your mommy?, Or literally everyone you've come across? Because, your victim mentality skills are top tier even I can't pull that off, bravo."

She cringes...."Victim!"...."I get upset like everyone else but I am not a victim."

"How so, you still blame everybody for your sadden and depressed feelings, I bet you don't even stop to look in the mirror to see your own flaws, you'd probably shatter it on purpose just to put it back together the way you want it just to make yourself look good for once, and as if that's not bad enough you're not as confident as you try to look."

With her eyes peeled open, she stares in disbelief as her tears start to build.

*SIGH* "Yes, see now we're getting somewhere.....are you ready to talk? I mean really you put up a good fight but I knew it was a matter of time before you cracked like the soft-shelled egg you are.", "I know you think I don't like you but, trust this is character building at its finest, money for even the best therapist can't even get you these results."

*She cries out* "I don't understand, why are you doing this! I show and give kindness to everyone.....I try to do right by everyone, I'm not perfect but I try, I'm a good person.....aren't I?

"Now, that is up to you but...completely debatable depending on who you ask. Most humans view themselves as "good", they treat people kind, maybe feed the homeless here and there, adopt a parent-less child, give money to their favorite charity. But, while most people consider themselves to be "good", they are rarely ever close to being decent. And all the good deeds that they do threw out their lives could never cover up the true malice and darkness that they honestly hold within their being that they are too afraid and ashamed to even let themselves know exist.

"Okay so what? What does that make them? This awful monster of a person that feeds off of hate, depression and darkness or any other negative field of energy that we uselessly try to mask day in and day out...huh! ANSWER MEEE!

"Yes, it's every inkling of dirtiness, and sadness, hate, and jealousy that everyone desires to feel. Which is the reason I stand here before you today. I reside in everyone and as much as you'd hate to admit it I reside in you. I'm you...your shadow.
