MonsterA Poem by K.A. BoulterPantoum-form of Malaysian poetry.
Don't want to feel
All this pain deep inside Eating my insides Threatening to expose All this pain deep inside Keep it inside Threatening to expose The monster inside Keep it inside Locked in a cage The monster inside Eating away my soul Locked in a cage To keep it away Eating away my soul Breaking me down To keep it away One must be strong Breaking me down I'm not strong enough One must be strong To keep the pain from showing I'm not strong enough Can't keep going To keep the pain from showing Wear a mask Can't keep going All these lies are showing Wear a mask Mine is broken All these lies are showing This monster is growing Mine is broken The heart in my chest This monster is growing Finally showing The heart in my chest Is barely glowing Finally showing The truth that I am Is barely glowing The flame going out The truth that I am Will destroy everyone The flame going out The blackness exploding Will destroy everyone The monster still growing The blackness exploding The evil is overflowing The monster still growing I can't hold on The evil is overflowing The monster taking hold I can't hold on It wants to escape The monster taking hold Of my ever shrinking soul It wants to escape Drinking up the blackness of my insides Of my ever shrinking soul It gains power Drinking up the blackness of my insides Like great wine It gains power Drinking all my fear Like great wine It feasts on my insides Drinking all my fear Breaking my mask It feasts on my insides Almost breaking through Breaking my mask Licking my tears Almost breaking through The monster is real Licking my tears I'm going down The monster is real Of course it's real I'm going down Don't want to feel Eating my insides All the pain is gone © 2015 K.A.
