There's a Monster In My Closet

There's a monster in my closet. It lurks around waiting for me to sleep. It peeks through the crack in the door. It's angry and dark. It destroys what it does not like and in the end it destroys me. The monster is becoming impatient. Soon the closet doors will open and it will release it's anger on everything that has ever hurt it. But the monster knows if this happens, it could end up hurting itself. My eyes flutter, trying to send me to sleep. But I hold my eyes open, contemplating what would happen if I let the monster free. Would that destroy it? Or would I turn into the monster? Every night, me and the monster have tea parties as I let it slip into my mind only for the night. In the morning it returns to the closet where I make it stay. I remind myself not to open the doors, I don't need to change. What I'm wearing is fine. This outfit hides the monster inside of the closet... Every failure, every bad name, every embarrassment I throw on the monster. The monster despises me. Why can't I let this monster free? Only when I am alone I can let the monster breathe for no one is there to receive it's pain except me. I am alone with the monster. The monster in my closet. I hold back the monster. I hold back the pain. I hold back every tear and every punch hoping it will go away but it only makes the monster stronger. Will the monster ever go? Will it ever be free? Will it ever destroy me? Or is it already destroying me? Slowly. Slowly. Through the mind. It lurks in the closet. It peeks through the cracks. Foreshadowing the monster's RELEASE.
