Monster

In a dark and dirty corner, Where people do not see; Lies a dormant monster Deep inside of me. Silent, calm and still, Slowly killing time, Waiting for the moment To comit a perfect crime. Bubbling beneath the surface, Not apparent to the eye, Assessing potential victims Who innocently pass me by. Soundless and invisible, I'll catch you unaware, Thriving off your ignorance That you do not know I'm there. By surprise I consume you, You're as helpless as the blind; Imagination does no justice To the horrors of my kind. Stealing your morality, So that you don't even care. That your soul is my possesion; Mine; not yours to share. Beware the devil inside you, It takes on different forms Exploiting all our weaknesses And engulfing us in swarms.
