i have a monster inside of me
feeding off of my insecurities
nowhere to run to..
nowhere to go..
oftentimes clueless
hopeless
alone
i have a monster inside of my head
that whispers to me
words better left unsaid
these words, they linger
they fester..
they rot..
urging me to slowly succumb to my end
how to get back up
crawl out of this pit
shed all my fears
remove myself from this self-imposed solitude
wanting warmth
but in fear of rejection
wanting answers
to questions i'm not even aware of
wanting to live but afraid to try
wanting to be happy but all hollowed up inside
how to get out of
this sadness..
this loneliness..
tell me how to get rid of this monster inside of me
