My Monster

My Monster





Selfishness my monster
was I born with acardia ?
Dejections came my way
and nourished the beast,
Griefs piled up constantly
that was the only feast,

As if I inspire disgust
and horror my face,
Deviations infinite
turning freak or fiend,
Humane or monster ?
Imaginary or legendary ?
