A.N. I formed this story based on the song listed above… This may scare some but I don't know...my mind travels to dark places...

I watch the face in the mirror with a bored expression. My chin has grown much more of a shadow than usual and my eyes now had a lining of bags. I feel as though there is nothing within my being, my soul. What is wrong with me?!

I...I remember when I first had hints of this. It was when I was recording a video...I can't remember what the game was called but it triggered a fear and a numbness within me. I couldn't shake away the feeling.

Up until that point I thought I was on high with the world around me. Everything was looking up, looking great!...But that game. It changed something within me. Altered even.

My fans caught onto my changes before I could even notice. I was more hollow with my content and my thoughts would almost always fall back to the darkness. I was even slacking in my uploading and Tyler was expressing his concerns too, but I pushed him away. I pushed Everyone away.

In about a week's time I found myself wallowing in a corner, holding onto my hair and yelling at nothing according to Amy, but I could've sworn I saw something. There was a pair of eyes, watching, waiting for me and I didn't want to be near it. I even began to hear voices, echoing through my mind different things, some things subtle, others more adamant. They begged me to do things...hurtpeople...they whispered lies such as the world hating me...my life being a lie...at one point it eventually became music to my ears and I found myself singing along to the tune.

And then...I saw different images float around. Images of my friends being dead beside me and I...laughing at their death hysterically, the pair of eyes embedded into my head that weren't my own. A laughter, a voice I had not encountered before; only in my worst of nightmares. A monster within me that drew everythingout of me and has drivenme to insanity. And has told me once before, "You will fall again."

At one point, I found myself in the living room and I thought I saw his face. I was scared and angry. I wanted him to go. "Youaren't real!" He just had a smirk on his face as I yelled at him in frustration. "I'm my own person! I do not go by Yourwill!" His smirked lingered, as though he was mocking me. I knew the willI had was true and I was not going to let him get in my way.Nothing will stand in my way! And as I threw a chair at him, he disappeared and in his place...was Amy. I had hurt the one that I loved...

Eventually Amy moved out by suggestion; it was for the best. But she was the last person to give up on me. Even my own mother had stopped trying to get in contact with me after I yelled at her in frustration of her concerns. I told her I'm in control. Aren't I?

I stopped my connections on social media once I saw more comments and I ignored phone calls and text messages. I stopped posting videos two days ago.

I look in the mirror and see the eyes again. I back away. "St-stay away from me."

There was a laugh that echoed through my brain and I fell back. A figure stepped out of the mirror...A figure...that looked exactly like me. "Hello Mark…"

"N-No, stay, stay away from me!"

He simply grinned at me, his aura protruding a calm, haunting darkness. "Mark...you know I never left you...I'm always with you…" He bent down to my height picked up my chin to face me. "Because...I AM you." Suddenly a searing pain riveted through my skull and I yelled out in pain as Dark simply laughed hauntingly, engulfing my vision in darkness.

Then...everything stopped. When I opened my eyes again, I felt...calm. There were no voices, I didn't feel hollow anymore...in fact, I felt more alive than ever before.

I picked up myself from the ground and brushed myself off. I took a breath once more and looked into the mirror, observing myself, a grin forming on my pale grey features. I stared at that dark, handsome man in the mirror and knew...a new life is all that I really needed. And maybe a nice, grey suite to commemorate this new lifestyle.

A.N. I want y'all to try and find the hidden message within the story and to formulate what you think it says all together. There are four sentences and one comma within one. Go by what is given prior to' I stopped my connections…'Beginning words are capitalized...Happy solving...
