Your every vice, every desire, every wish of who you could be, personified.  Personified and there to beat you up.  You do not talk about it; you do NOT talk about it!  I don't care who you are or who you care about, you do not talk about it.  Your ideals, your morale… I will crush them and remake you.  You just have to do exactly as I say.  Be willing to die, just do not talk about it!  To everyone else you will seem like an absolute nut.  I am stronger than you.  I am better than you.  I do not have to answer to you!  Don't argue with me.  I will keep you out of this one way or the other.  Do not talk about it or no one here will talk to you!  Oh, so you finally get it?  That I'm not real?  Guess what, I am real.  I am you.  You're pathetic.  I am better than you and you will do what I say or you will just get beat down again.  You hate me?  You are me!  Yet all it takes is that one snap at the most pivotal moment, that bullet to the head, to make me go away.  You don't have the guts, but guess what?  You are Tyler Durden.
I had a stroke of inspiration in the shower this morning. I was thinking about fighting with oneself, and Fight Club came to mind. I've been going through a bit of this whole beating myself up thing recently and only just got that metaphorical bullet that fixed everything. I won't go into details here, but it is nice to not be at war with oneself. I know the perspective seems to shift a bit, but that's a lot like in the actual movie Fight Club. Perspective changes a lot.

Now, don't go talking about this piece... hahaha! Nah. I hope this doesn't sound too weird to everyone. I wanted it to be very choppy, staccato, and a little rude, as though it was an actual fight with one's own Tyler Durden.
