Creatures


Well I can't know for sure, but I suppose I was born with them.

My body, my mind my soul, I have to share it.

I share it with the creatues, some people call them demons.

They live inside me. 

Everyday is a battle with myself and with them.

Some I was born with, and others.

Well others snuck into the deepest parts of my mind.

They are the ones I hate.

Its taken me a long time to name them; some still don't have names.

I would take days to name them all, but here are a few.

Maybe if you have them too, you could tell me?

We could celebrate our creatures, our demons, together.

Anxiety, I told you about him before.

Depression, I denied her for as long as possible.

The twins, Cronic Headache and Migrane.

I've had them for as long as I can remember.

Hashimotos, I just named him, we have yet to get to know one another.

Fear, I think everone has Fear. 

Creativity, I really like her, she's been with me since the begining.

Pain, I'm not a big fan of him, but oh well.

And that leaves us with Me, I am all of these creatures.

They don't define me, they are a part of me... you see the difference.

If you don't now, one day you will,

Until then rememer your creatures don't define you.

You define You
