Inner Monster
My inner monster lurks around.
Amid my anxieties, it can be found.
What I believed is hard to face,
Is where trauma finds a hiding place.
It could evade, disguise, and get loose.
This is the time to confront; disabuse.
Only I can set me free,
Transcending this horrific grasp on me.
I sneak a look from behind my screen,
Allowing this part of me, feared, to be seen---
This monster I created; as both strong and mean.
Carved out by a child, routinely chastised
Finally, its power and soul to be demised.
