Monster
I’m so scared of the monster
Curled deep inside me
Don’t know when it will flare up
To hurt me and everyone around
It leaves me bleeding-
Gasping while the tears dry
It flares up at the tiniest things
At words that hurt
Or at what I see
When I look at me
The way it makes me feel
Blocking out the light
Crushing out the hope
And all that hurts much more
Than any blade held to my skin
I just know I’ve to block out the pain somehow
As the monster takes over me
And all I see is darkness
Blinding me
I know that there’s a way out
And I know I can fight
So I keep on struggling
With the horror in me
With that part of me
You wont want to see
I know I can do this
So I keep battling
I wont give in
Not now
I wont give up
But I’ll find a way to keep holding on.
