The Monster in Me
I get, to a certain degree Why you want to see the Monster in me
Alternative text
The image is of Graffiti art of a teal-skinned child with brown hair, black-brown crewneck jumper, orange trousers with blue crosses dotted on them and black-brown shoes being devoured by some green-yellowish, ferret-looking monster hugging him from behind. The canvas is black, and there are a few orange and white tags of different symbols, sizes and shapes behind the piece.
I get, to a certain degree
Why you want to see the
Monster in me
If you see the worst in me
It’ll set your guilt free
You want to see the monster in me
To justify how you treated me
So you don’t have face your shame
Soberly
So monstrous is all I seem
So it’s easier to give up on me
I thought I killed monster in me
Turns out it was alive and just buried
Raging vehemently
Starved and wanting to feed
Hunger so deep
Sometimes I can’t sleep
Sometimes I see the monster in me
Out in the wilderness
Down on its knees
Begging for some company
Most of the time I ignore it completely
But once in a while I lean in
And it consumes every part of me
