There is a monster inside of me
The monster —
It scares me
It stays in me
Haunts me
Controls me
it takes what it wants
From me
It tells me it just wants
a game to play
A game of fun
And sharing
And happiness
And giving
But I know that
That’s not why it came
There is a monster inside of me
The monster —
It scares me
Its horrible hands —
they’re strong enough to
Rip the soul
Out of me
The monster won’t
set me free
It’s always taking
A piece of me
It tells me
It loves me
But I know
That it doesn’t
The only thing it loves is
What it wants to make me
Because
You see
There is a monster inside of me
And the monster —
It is me
