Monster

Posted by Heather Mcghee on 3/23/2026 1:03:08 PM
Some days I just wish it would all end Close my eyes, not wake up again Put an end to the pain I feel inside No longer feel the need to run and hide You'd be better off without me here That's the truth, is what I fear The horrible things you scream in my face Remind me just how easy I am to replace “Who am I” you spit in anger “Don't you know your life's in danger?” I try to hold onto tears that are flowing The terror I feel intensely growing You utter words of hate and disdain Wanting me to feel only hurt and pain My life to you I'm afraid I'll lose How will it end, don't make me choose The monster that creeps behind your eyes Fills your head with bull and lies You used to be stronger, kept him away Now you don't care, you let him stay I dream of the day my love will return That tranquil bliss is all that I yearn
