Monster

All the Lies and Deceit All the horrible feats Jekyll and Hyde comes, like the tides I am the monster I try to have restraint and foresight But my desire for the pleasure of the night I am a horrid sight All the lies and the deceit The pain and the hurt I am what I have done its is what I have become My actions are the sum of my being I am a Monster not a human being Not even my wife still wants or has feelings For me, I am the monster Not a decent being I need help from the affliction I do everything but break the addiction I need help but am afraid to look the monster in the eye I scream out for help but I can't let the words come out I am the monster destroying myself as well as hurting those around me. I am a monster Please help me free me

Jeff, sometimes it's better to be the monster... Love this poem. :), Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
