Monster

A monster lies within us all It brings us down trapped and bound unable to break the fall It feeds on weaker minds brings pain and tears to weary eyes Then comes the silence that pierces through the night It roars the loudest at the end of every lonesome hour It holds half the heart a quarter of the mind The only way to clear away its wicked ways is to walk through your mind And obliterate all fears and leave the broken pieces behind
