Also for Me
Ragin monsters
swarm from the deep
to devour,
murder.
They must be vanquished.
The pretty drones
raise their perfect
heads to laugh
at me.
I don’t like them.
The shaggy beast
rears his head,
brandishes his tusks;
scares me.
He will be my end.
Your storyteller
is still here
unfortunately
for you
and also for me.

A lawyer to be who dabbles in acting, singing, dancing, cooking, knitting, reading, writing and ranting about mental illness, since I suffer from OCD and depression myself. I'm happiest when I'm at church. If you take the time to read my work and tell me what you think, I'll love you forever.
