The Path of Monsters

Afraid to take the path back to my life,
Afraid of the monsters on that path.
Hiding everything,
That may force me to go down the path if I show it.

Afraid of what everyone will think,
Afraid of what everyone will say,
Afraid the path will hurt,
And puncture my heart.

I just exist here,
But not live.
Chained to the wall,
Tortured and wounded.

Hurting myself,
Hurting others,
Emotionally,
And physically.
