The Monster Inside of Me

The monster inside of me is tearing me apart, this monster is breaking me down. Am I strong enough to fight? Am I fallin' into this sound? I'm so lost in this battle. My heart and my mind, who will win? The wind is blowing, a certain eerie way. The leaves are flowing, so graciously in the wind. There's so much running through my head. I'm getting distracted, losing focus. Is this bad? The monster is clawing at my back, he's choking me out, I can't breathe now. He looks like a shadow, gives me chills like a ghost, sounds like years of trapped pain and misery, with the sweet kiss of death. Silent is how he lurks, a silhouette is all you'll ever see of him. He makes my stomach turn, and my heart beat fast. The monster inside of me, is me. And I'm making myself sick. Why can't I just let myself be? The monster inside of me, is you. And it's making me tick. I'm a time bomb, waiting to explode. Like tick, tick...
