The Monster In Me

there is a dark little monster that lives within me whispering clawing its only desire is to escape i hold my hands to my throat Gasping for air Its clawing for a way out at the same time its killed my sweetness in return smoke or rather the ashes from my innocent smiles have been slain wherein dust and doom spirals from my lungs and black tar leaks through my eyelids there is an eerie silence before its tiny feet climb its way through my nostril blood spilling as it forces its hindlegs eyes rolling to the back of my head dizzy as my lips chatter against my teeth meanwhile my body reverts to fumbling to capture it i am too late i only hear its talons scraping along the counter tops it opens its mouth poisionous tongue the stench of its breath filled with words of hate choking its victims things that ive bottled inside for so long intoxicating bringing them closer and going for the jugular its only goal--->wanting revenge to see hurt oh monsterous thing Ive tried to hide you for so long but I was wrong the sadness you will bring
