Monster Inside Me
The Monster inside me
makes my knuckles red,
and scratched,
and leaves burning trails
across my hands
The Monster inside me
lashes out at my heart,
and mind,
and leaves scars inside
and out
The Monster inside me
leaves me shaking,
and my heart pounding,
and time frozen around me
in a nightmare
Worst of all,
the Monster inside me
is always there,
judging,
laughing
Hiding under my bed
and waiting in my closet,
ready to scare the crying little girl
Who can all but scream for help
