The Monster Inside Me

I have a monster inside me.

The Pain. The Rage.

Thoughts unfit for this day and age.

The monster calls; pleas to be

freed from this cage

I built around him. Praying he

never breaks out again

But as the effect of rain

on the paint of a house

dark times arouse

thoughts that "Maybe. Just maybe

its the right thing to let him free.

For the beast to fix things i couldn't.

To spit words I dare wouldn't"

And so the cage weakens.

​

We all have monsters inside us

waitin' to be set free.

Pray none of yours gets lose

'Cause mine is consuming me.
