Monster

Flashing memories of childhood nights

Monster, do you recollect me

patiently you wait outside the door

night after night you always come back for more

Your intention carried through the wind

I feel your evil intent brush against my skin

Monster, why victimize me 

You slowly take your first steps in 

Scattered bruised and flung across the room 

my screams and please grow weary and thin

wrists shackled by the grip till the violence turns to silence

Monster, does the guilt hold deep within

Monster, do you wish I died

Your deep dark dreams manifest into reality

as the reflection of my scared eternity 

reflects in your hollow eyes

Monster, Monster, Monster

every night I cry

This is so real, Keegan. Really, I can feel the emotions. Such an important subject which I agree with Jacob and everything he said.

Truly a soulful piece, one many can relate to. The intensity of emotion is felt throughout, as childhood memories resurface. "Violence turns to silence" So much is said within these four words. Well done, my friend.

Your deep dark dreams manifest into reality
as the reflection of my scared eternity
reflects in your hollow eyes"

I've always loved that song by Meg and Dia.
It's not very scary, but it does make me angry. That some people choose to be monsters and hurt others.
Well played, I like the repetition of ~Monster~

Remember the Alien? That was some bad a*s monster. I liked this poem. It's like all your old childhood imaginary spooks coming back. Trouble is then you grow up they get replaced by real spooks.

this is so real and makes me so angry...i want to scram and spit and slaughter.

i cannot understand why this has so few views and reviews...

this is a very important and well written piece of poetry about a subject we should all pay much more attention to.
