Creatures In My Head

You look at me and what do you see

The innocent little girl I pretend to be 

But the secrets I hold, behind these grey eyes

You’ll never be able to see inside

The dark shadows creeping in my mind

The creatures I can’t leave behind
The haunting images the lurk my dreams

All those things that remain unseen

The depression that eats at my soul

The resentment that overwhelms my hold

On the tears that leak out

On the fears I can’t keep out

They just keep scratching their way out

They just keep ripping their claws about

All they do is tear at my self esteem 

They’re constantly making me scream. 

All I want to do is cry

Sometimes I even wish to die...
