The Monster

The Monster

A Poem by Anissa Kessel
"

This is inspired by the anxiety and depression I've been suffering from for the last few years.

"
He's coming for you.
He's running faster.
Don't turn around. 
OH NO!
It's too late. 
The monster is already here and he wants you.


He'll suck every bit of life you have inside.
He'll wipe away your smile and steal your laugh.
He'll crush your dreams and give you nightmares.
He is the monster and he wants you.


It's not your fault.
You never summoned the monster.
You never wanted to be the victim, but you just are.
He'll never stop until you're gone forever.
He is the monster and he knows nobody cares enough to save you.
