I want you out, go away, please
Leave me alone you're like a disease.
Shut up! Stop talking,
I can't take anymore of your awful squawking.
Come now my friend must you be so mean,
there's no treatment for you, no vaccine.
I'm here to stay,
The way we switch is like a clever ballet.
No please leave me alone,
you and you're disgusting tone.
I've had enough that's it,
this isn't some clever skit!
Oh but it is is you see,
I'll never go, you'll never be free.
I'm here to stay,
forever here until you decay.

This poem has an edgy and dangerous character that endears the reader to it and thrills them. The switch at the end is one of the most clever devices I've ever seen used in a piece, and you executed it with masterful skill. You also used many a clever cliche, as well as spawned a few of your own. My favourite stanza was this: "Come now my friend must you be so mean,
there's no treatment for you, no vaccine.
I'm here to stay,
The way we switch is like a clever ballet."
If what you say about you not being a writer is true, you are certainly turning into an extremely talented one.

It's an excellant example of what I'm looking for, but I think you might have confused schitzophrenia with multiple personality disorder. Other than that it's a wonderful poece.

*hugs* What an emotional write and so many parts of this are just....wow! First off, I hate rhyming poems that don't have the same beats per line and this is the first poem I like where it's not that way. And the back and forth conversation works well with the idea of schizophrenia. A deep write and very emotional. A sad ending, but you have much talent as a poet.
