Monster

Monsters underneath my bed Living in my head Voices seem so loud I can never drown them out Tell me I’m worthless Life has no purpose Monsters reach out to me Calling me names, putting out my flame Saying all I do is make mistakes Monsters all around me I hate they found me I don’t deserve this life I’m not strong enough to fight I can hardly sleep, they keep me awake Please chase them away Maybe the monster is me Could it really be What if the monster is really a better part of me And the voices in my head is just my conscious Telling me to set her free

I found the poem to be an interesting comment on the anxiety we all experience in various time periods of our lives.
