The Monster Within Me

Feeling like you're about to crack and not knowing what will spew out

I feel monster deep within me,

Longing to be free.

A force of infinite power,

Itching to make the whole world cower.

 

This monster deep inside

Yearns to make you run and hide.

To crush and crumble

Anyone who gives me trouble.

 

I feel a monster deep within me.

It’s fighting to break free.

This, I know to be fact, not myth,

It’s a force to be reckoned with.

 

Not a day goes by

Where it doesn’t try

To break open the cage and snap it’s chain,

So it may be free to inflict its pain.

 

I feel a monster deep within me.

It’s close to breaking free.

My deepest fear is coming to be

That that monster is really me.

Oh, god, let's hope not! Tell us about this monster. What does it look like? What does it feel? More importantly, what does it want? Can it be reasoned with or does it reason with an insane logic known only to it's kind? What will you do if that's the case? Destroy it outright, lock it away and hope it never escapes or perhaps just try and run away?

This is well written. Great direction.

I love reading a good ole poem:) I really think that everyone has a monster inside of them. I know I sure do. The way you described this feeling is very mature, beautiful, perfect, and it shows the high amount of talent you have... EXECELLANT!!

I definetly know that feeling, quite well. You describe it so perfectly, beautiful vocabulary and images. This is very well done.

As someone that "bottles in" a lot of things, I can certainly relate to this one...it's how I keep my monster at bay I suppose, for better or worse haha Nice job, especially with the last verse :)

We all have that monster and when we embrace it as a part of who we are we move forward.. I like the ying and yang symbol of black and white.. without the dark we cannot see the light...xo :) I love this..xo

Tame the monster and you would have saved the world.
