The Monster I Live With...
This is a poem that I tell myself.
there is literally nothing you can say that’ll shatter me into a thousand pieces
because you are no worse than the monster I live with....
you can call me ugly
you can call me fat
but you won’t see me break in half
because you are no worse than the monster I live with
you can push me down the stairs
you can go ahead and pull my hair
but you’ll be wasting your time since I won’t care
because you are no worse than the monster I live with
you can isolate me
you can break me
but it won’t faze me
because you are no worse than the monster I live with
feel free to write my name with lies
go ahead and tell me to “just die”
just don’t expect me to cry
because you are no worse than the monster I live with
there is literally nothing you can say that’ll shatter me into a thousand pieces
I say this because this monster, in particular, is far worse than any sick human being that has lived and died
this monster, in particular, is one that hides in the night
this monster, in particular, is just as scary as the Boogeyman
this monster, in particular, is just as cunning as the Devil
this monster, in particular, is one that I’m far too familiar with
I would know because it is the monster that lives inside me
