My Inner Monster
You are my inner monster,
always there
you are a part of me
I cannot change that.
You re the voice inside my head
that only I can hear,
and spend countless hours
trying to keep quiet.
I can hear your words
they echo in my mind
taking me back to earlier times
I try to forget
move past
but you are always there
taunting me
belittling me
cursing me
The years have gone by
the distance grows wider
and even now I can hear you .
to deny you is to,
is to deny me
Why some ask …
because you are my father
my inner monster.
