The Monster Within

THE MONSTER WITHIN

 

When growing as a child, one's afraid of many things,

But nothing more than monsters, the fear these creatures bring.

 

A monster in the basement, a monster beneath the bed,

But nothing could be scarier, than this monster in my head.

 

This monster has no feelings, and never shows regret,

It's the side of me that I would soon, love to just forget.

 

It threatens to come out, when people are around,

But instead it stays within me, and doesn't make a sound.

 

Through endless pain and suffering, and shedding many tears,

It plays on my emotions, it's been with me for years.

 

It controls what I think, and even what I do,

It's ruining my life, and it could ruin yours to.

 

This monster I must rid, from all of earths domain,

The longer I must live, the more I become insane.

 

The only way to kill it, is for me to die,

The end I see is near, now I must say goodbye.

 

...goodbye

Was a great story once. A boy dreams he saw a face that was a monster. When got older the monster appear in his mirror. He tries to stop it. He couldn't. He had to learn to live with it. All of us are born with monsters. My father killed people because of his monsters. I controlled my monsters. Hate, disappointment and failure must not be allow to overtake a life. Better to run like hell to a better place. I like this poem. A very good ending. Killing your monsters maybe just allow the B.S to escape the mind. A outstanding poem. I like these poems that make me think.

A really sad piece. You told the story so well. We all have these monsters inside of us, it's defeating them that makes it hard.

How melancholy all your pieces seem to be... Beautiful but sad. We are our own worse enemy...
