I am haunted in this reality
A specter within me
A presence I cannot see
An ancient shadow bound to me
Time immemorial, bound to you and me
Bound to plains of un-reality
It’s echos taunt and deceive me
A wraith which is only known to me
Armed with a blade I can only see
It’s presence besieges me
It lays claim to me
Robs me of things I wish to be
I WILL STAND

Uninvited Guest takes it’s name from the song “Uninvited Guest” by Disturbed and deals with the idea that ones own mind can be your greatest ally and greatest enemy. It may feed you false ideas of incompetence and that is where one will need to find strength to stand despite their own demons.
