Monster


when i am with friends 

and i smile

and laugh i 

always stop

because i am reminded

by a hateful stare

that i am not a Person

and can't be

happy. 

i have lost that privilege

ever since i 

became Possessed.

i am reminded 

that i cannot

experience happiness

again

because i stole it

from so many

and never gave it back.
