My Monster

What is my monster doing

Appearing back into my life?

Why does she make me hate myself?

My life was finally put back together.

Your voice haunts me.

The sound of the deep, dark, burning voice

Of my own demons.

I hear your words whispering in my ear.

You make me hate the vision in the mirror.

The numbers are never right,

My efforts never good enough.

I can feel you climbing through my pores.

Mauling me as you try and return.

 

 

What are you doing?

Why are you trying to stop me?

I love you, love your terrible horrible flaws.

Enough that I am willing to help.

Won't you let me back in?

I keep you busy.

I steer you toward realizing your imperfections.

Remember the life we shared,

The pain we shared.

I may hurt you,

But in the end,

I'm always here.

I will never leave you alone.

personal battles. not sure i like the format. i set it up so that the first part is myself and the second is my...other self (aka my monster).

I love it. I can relate to this too.

the dark side versus the light side. The monster that wins is the one that we feed more. This is reality. I like this, a bit real. lol

Wow very cool I didnt something like this. I like the dual personality, they both had an original voice

[yashsickle]

Very intriguing. I like the concept of being your own monster. I know that all too well. I thought that if you used some descriptive words you could make the monster sound a lot more menacing. Like
"Mauling me as it tries to gasp for air."
Either way, I liked it a lot!
