Monster

There's a monster hiding
inside
Luking in my mind
Crouching in my heart
Gnawing on my soul
Stalking my sanity

There's a monster hiding
inside
Sharp'ning its claws
Growling its hate
Glaring its rage

There's a monster hiding
inside
Watching from within
Waiting for its chance
Testing soul's locks for weakness
Screaming to escape
to show
the world that
i'm
The monster hiding
No longer
inside

repressing our inner monsters makes us socially acceptable - writing is a safe way to vent them, eh?
