I Am A Monster

I am a monster. I am everywhere. I am within inanimate objects and animate objects. I am within the smallest of beings to the largest of beings. From fighting for attention as an infant to competition over a girl, I have been there. I am all around. You breath me in, you take me with you and you even wear me as a cologne. You see me walking down the street, talking on the phone and even looking at you. I am the object of attention and envy. I am everywhere. I seep into your mouth as you stare at me in awe. I creep into your ears as you listen to me attentively. I fuel you as you digest me with gusto. I take you by the hand and push you to the limit. I mold your brain and make you think in a clearer light. You obey me. I am within you. I am what you crave for. I am what you want people to envy you for. I am the monster who controls you out of emotions. I am what motivates people to become me. I am what people fight over for. I am an ideal, a model of excellence, a commodity. I am the forbidden fruit that people can't help but take a bite out of. I am your golden touch. I am what every person wants to be, what they strive for, what they think they deserve.... success. I am success. I am the money that flows out of your pocket. Your invitation to the most exclusive parties. The first class airplane ticket for you to ride. The keys to your Lamborghini. The feeling of relief and satisfaction. The desire that you worked so hard for that you left everything behind for. Your sense of humor, fun, and even your love ones are all being held captive under my control. I turn the most happiest person into the most self-absorbed pessimistic person . I have the power to give you everything you desired but also to take away everything you didn't cherish. I am the creature you can't get enough of. I am your desire. I am your success. I am your future. I am your monster.
