Melody

Again, I am trapped within the dark

room I created in my head

Tangled by my thoughts and suffocated 

by my feelings

you see, there's a monster sitting right 

beside me

grinning,

watching,

Humming the tune I've heard for so many years.

I feel hot tears running down

my face

It's cold body moving forward to embrace me

Tell me that I will never leave it's side

will never be able to hide

And my heart is racing

it's beating rapidly in my chest

I find myself never wanting to give my best

and yet,

There are people who adore me

there are people who give me love

and hold me

who remind me that there is life

beyond this dark room

That I will be out soon

And just a little stronger than before

They're pounding at my door

yelling and screaming that the monster

is lying

That it is conniving and I must fight it off

and regain what it took from me

There's a melody they've created

that describes the wonderful person that I am

the monster cannot stand to be ignored

and lets out a roar

But the melody does not stop..

Bliss,

love,

hope and faith.

These are the words I hear

the words I cherish and want

to keep safe

Oh little monster

I know I will be here again,

again

and again

but some day with this melody

you will finally lose 

and I will finally win.
