Invincible

To all my fears and insecurities, Up until now, you have been accepted as unbeatable Invincible, even. You've shown no mercy Your punishments are harsh To burn the body as it stands frozen Shaking and unmovable in any direction except your own, to flee Voice cracking, stuttering awkward phrases that are not what I'd practiced Needles and ice skates Public speaking And werewolves, which I now only believe in for reasons to fear Thanks to you But a thought has recently occurred to me The Terrors of my childhood- Where are they? Where is the monster under my bed, or in my closet? They who lurked in the darkness around me and in the creak of the stairs? Is...is it possible? No Yes I grew bigger, stronger; defeated them I will do it again My voice will be heard among the crowd Send me all your anxiety, send me paranoia, I dare you Today, I am great, despite your hindering this far But tomorrow, I will be unbeatable Invincible, even. Sincerely, Me
