The Monster inside me
I see it everywhere
In my dreams
In my own truth
In myself
It lives in the deepest parts of my mind
consuming my innocence
No matter where I go its shadows follow
I keep asking myself
Why does it follow me?
Why only me?
As it stalks me
its perseverance drives a dementia within me
My own self-awareness begins to fade
I can’t recall who I am anymore
As the walls of solitude try to crush me
so does my ego
I had seen the monster in utter torment
Don’t look at me
Don’t try to find me
The chains that bind me quickly became tighter
My heart is being overtaken by it
The me I was quickly became the monster
That was inside me
