Monster

There is a monster, Invading my brain, crawling under my skin Causing all my patience to run thin controlling my thoughts, feelings, emotions I'm stuck in my head, everything slow motion I just wanna feel like myself once more Instead of getting medicated and being shoved out the door Of the office of someone's who's supposed to help But when I leave I feel even less like my self I can't control my anxious mind And so badly do I just want to be kind. A person who always sees the good in others But mostly I just feel smothered By anger, anxiety, stress and depression Of my thoughts this monster has already taken possession I will always continue to fight, looking inside searching for the light It's so dim I can barely hold on but I will always fight until the monster is gone. I dream of the day I find reprieve From the monster inside of me.

So melodic yet so painful. I like to think you will see that light because you have the strength to look and fight the darkness. Great write. Praying for your strength and continued poetic perseverance.

Thank you so much! I started writing poetry recently to express feelings I don't know how to talk about. I'm hoping to help others express themselves and know they are not alone. Your support means a lot!
