I Am A Monster

I am a husk

Of the man I once was

For I am different

From dawn to dusk

I am like a Basilisk

The king of all snakes

A sneaky serpent

But on the inside a fake

I am empty inside

Like an Eidolon spirit

An appearance like humans

On the outside alive

But inside is dead

Bloodshed is nothing

To a being like me

A Keres is hungry

For flesh and misery

The singing of Sirens

That lures victims to death

Never gave a single thought

When releasing their final breath

Who could forget the Hydra

That could never perish

For when one head was gone

Another took its place

Always as bloodthirsty as the other

I am not human

But a monster in human skin

This flesh and bone and skin

Is nothing but a disguise

No one would want a monster

Like me alive

A beast like me

Would have to hide

In order to survive

I am a monster

A being of history and horror

Hidden in human form

But a wolf in sheep’s clothing

Is more than a warning
