A monster?
i went to see a monster, fearing what I'd find,
But saw myself lying there, left bleeding in my mind.
Bleeding from emotions that were kept aside,
Near every pain, every painful sight.
I kept myself strong through every battle of my life,
But this time I couldn’t hold up from the strife.
Thought nothing could shake me this hard,
But in that very moment, I felt I was just another card.
Part of the people I thought I belonged to,
They humbled me so deep that I didn’t know what to do.
The days started feeling like they would never end,
Hurting your soul, but the only option is to pretend.
So God decided to pull that final move,
“You have nothing left that you could ever prove.”
The days won’t stop, neither will i be
But the human I was, I will never see…
