Monstrosity Me
Who am I?
I sit and wonder
But I can't be myself
Never free from influence
Never free from their grasps
Trapped in my own insecurities
Yet the only certainty is my tendencies
Self destructive at best, and yet still just as fun
A monster unseen
Lying,
Waiting,
And yet will see the light of day,
Only when I have gone away
Not from existence does my body fade,
But trapped in a soul not my own
While I lie and wait, destroying this body
So that someday I may free myself
Not from their scrutiny
But the monstrosity that is me
