The Monster

The monster became a living, walking nightmare my dive into insanity, no longer perfect, containing a blank stare I should resist, the monster will find me, run away with me Pretend to hear my meager complaints, force me to see what I'm afraid to see Blame and guilt, volleying right and left, up and down It's crashing me closer, with every step, I'm falling to the ground It's all a game, just play along, play the game, play it well Brimming confidence, dissolved in thoughts, of what? I won’t tell Demons, devil born souls, run quick, run fast, stand my ground No sense of fear, n sense of foreboding, not even a slight sound High speed, pursuit of hell, bent on going, bent on crashing Giving into the power, life's faster, lights flashing Crash and torment me again, my eyes close after all The beginning of the end for me, feeling numb after the fall Is there a way out? I'm different, distant and moved on Listen to the water, calling, coaxing into death, I'm gone Endless, empty cloud; dreamless oblivion; oxygen, exhalation Am I dead? Still alive? Broken into pieces, I need motivation Reality closes in, walls me in; until there’s nothing there Death comes behind me, containing a blank stare.

Wow, Candice, this creates a captivating sense of suspense throughout! Great concept, seeing death as a monster with a "blank stare." Excellent work!
