Monster

Written Feb. 17, 2011.

I let the Monster get away.
I let the Monster out.
This monster I had built my self,
Out of all my misery and doubt.

I didn't mean to free it.
I didn't mean to let it out,
But it swelled up deep inside me,
Causing me to shout.

I thought I had it cornered.
I thought I had it in a cage,
But this Monster was awakened,
and it filled me up with rage.

I know I should not be forgiven.
For setting the Monster free,
But why should I have to keep it -
So deep inside of me?

You say I should get rid of it.
You say I should burn it out.
But getting rid of the Monster-
Does not free me of misery and doubt.

Today I built a monster.
Today I let it out.
Today I freed my monster,
And it came out with a shout.

Oh MAN! This is freaking awesome!
I love this so much and the awesome rhyme scheme.
Amazing flow going on as well.
I loved the last stanza the most.
I really enjoyed this piece.
