You ever have one of those days?

Monster

 

 

There’s a monster hiding

          inside

lurking in my mind

crouching in my heart

gnawing on my soul

stalking my sanity

There’s a monster hiding

          inside

baring its fangs

sharp’ning its claws

growling its hate

glaring its rage

there’s a monster hiding

          inside

watching from within

waiting for its chance

testing locks for weakness

screaming to escape

          and show

                   the world

                             that I’m

                                      the monster

                                                no longer

          inside

Oh yes!...but that one ain't a scary one, just a pathetic furry grimacing wannabe that ain't worth to walk in my darkest dungeons...
