The Monster

The Monster will tear you up inside,
pull you to the ground,
make you beg and plea.
Throw you to the curve,
and pull you right back in.

The Monster can see right past your eyes,
and use your worst fears against you,
until it itself becomes your worst fear.

The Monster will grab you by the heart,
rip you to pieces and shred you apart.
Take your soul and ruin your spirit.

The Monster will make you feel
like you’re worthless.
Point out all your flaws.
Make you think what is good,
is rather bad.

The Monster can make things that work workless,
the things that should should not.
Make you cry late at night,
when you think that no one is listening.

The Monster will make you see
what you don’t want to see.
Make you feel what just isn’t there.

The Monster is your worst flaw,
its purpose unknown but useful.
Because it works...
but you already know that.

The Monster is what you run from.
when you’re shriveled up and scared.
It doesn’t take long for it to take over you,
just a few useless weeks of your time,
and your its plaything.

The Monster will turn you,
against all you love.
The little things,
that make you... you.
IT will force a deep
emptiness upon you.

The monster is a force to be reckoned with,
uncontrollable, forceful, indestructible.
You’re scared, just like you should be.

Maybe,
if you think and work
hard enough,
your wish for freedom will come true.
But it takes
hard work,
determination,
hope, and control
to take back what is rightfully yours...
yourself!
