A Dead Soul

These monsters inside me,
I can’t seem to push them away.
I might as well accept them
Because they say they’re here to stay.
We laugh together, we cry together.
For my soul that died when I lost faith,
Lost faith in people I thought would be there.
I lost faith in people, who said they cared,
I even lost the feeling called fear,
I fear nothing anymore because I’ve been hurt by family,
The ones I thought would have my back 
And stay by my side through any crap.
I’m living, but my soul is dead.
Sometimes I hear voices inside my head.
They are there with me through every mood I face,
The monsters inside me just can’t be replaced,
I’m depressed and sad, they hate seeing me this way.
They’re the monsters inside of me and I don’t want to push them away
Cause now I no they love me,
All they want is to see my sadness fade.
My heart is permanently broken,
And it can’t be fixed or replaced.
The monsters inside me are here to stay.
