The Monster Within

There's a side of my skin that nobody sees.

Hiding beneath is the monster in me.

I can't silence the noise or quiet the voices.

Locked inside my own personal hell.

The darkness is slowly killing me from within.

The monster is stirring.

It's coming to life.

I don't know if I can contain it much longer.

I've been waiting for a sign.

I need to make a choice.

How do I handle the creature?

It's eating me alive
