Everyone's Got A Hitchhiker

Since the moment of your birth, I've been with you.
Everywhere you go, I follow; vigilantly waiting for my chance to take control.
Everything you do, I mimic flawlessly; I've been studying you for a long time.
Though you're aware of me, you've grown used to my presence, and act as though I do not exist. This is to my advantage.
It's coming, you know. That moment when I make my move; when I'm finally the leader.
You will be forced to follow me, to mimic my actions and choices.
Until that moment, keep the lights on; I need them.
