A Monster’s Misery
I don’t like mirrors anymore
They’re a reflection of everything I try to ignore
The acne on my face
My stomach gaining weight
These love handles aren’t fake
It sucks to be this way
Cause all I see is ugliness staring back at me
I don’t wanna be her
The one I call mother
For she’s a snake in disguise
Hatred always buried in her eyes
Her awful glare
Her narcissistic behavior
Makes me wanna pull out my hair
Cause she’s something I don’t want see
But I see her in the mirror staring back at me
Being her twin replica makes me sick
Cause she’s a godawful witch
I wanna go home
But home is in the sky
I can’t delete myself from this world
I must carry on
But I missed my love ones everyday
Why couldn’t they stay ?
I just wanna be free
From this monster staring at me
Go away!
Don’t come back any other day
Just take everything you own and go far away
I can tell you enjoy my misery
After all the monster is me
But she’s a monster in misery
Unlike the monster who tortures me
I don’t wanna be in misery no more
But no one’s knocking at the door to save me
From this endless misery
So it’s just me and my demons coming to get me
Cause I can’t escape my fate
Of dying alone without love and a single friend to lend a helping hand
I’m ready for the worst
So it begins
