we all have a monster in some part of us and we are afraid of it we can control it

until you are hurt then your mind takes over and we plan our revenge

evan if you know deep down its just a way of letting your anger out after being hurt

the monster i write about is the inner you wanting to give payback for the pain and suffering

everybody has they're own monster inside them .....

IN my mind there is loneliness and an empty space filled with darkness and disgrace. there is a monster lose in side my mind there is no one like it it's one of a kind. I try to control the bad thing's that it think I have tried to banished it with drugs and drink. But when the drugs and drink are there no more back comes my tormentor to kick down my minds door. I have to Bury it deep in side my mind but a way to torment me my monster will find. I searched for salvation to find a way out to show my frustration I scream and I shout. I search in the darkness for a door with a key that will free my tormenter and set my mind free. so I hide in this darkness so no one will see that the monster I hide is really me.

I agree. We all have a monster inside -- that tiny inner part of ourselves -- that part that makes us unique. We all try to banish our dark sides, some with alcohol, drugs while others with food, thrills, etc. I can appreciate your words, Paul. For me, hiding in the darkness only makes matters worse in the long run...I had to claim my 'darkness' instead of hiding from it...that's just me. I enjoyed the read...have a great evening, Sara
