Monster

Kill this monster
growing in me
his threat to kill
makes me believe 
i'm all alone
the room is spinning
it starts to groan
i know i'm not alone
kill this thing
let me breathe
his arms hold tight
speaks to me in the night
but you can't see
his eyes blaze right through me
his grin swallows my body
you can't hear 
he whispers in my ear
"Just hold tight,
I'll find you in the night."
kill this disease 
creeping over me
crawling in my skin
my ugly evil twin
kill this monster...
Don't
Let
Him
Win.
