I'm the crutch,  I'm the words on the back of your tongue.
I'm the intermittent headaches. I'm the dirt running deep beneath your fingernails that can't be scrubbed. 

 I'm the part you've kept hidden, I'm the stain on your name. 

I'm the opposite of conscience. I'm the needle in your side, I'm regret, I'm the dread, I'm the shame.
