Monster You Are


Dedicated to E.J.S. Blood boils beneath the skin. A hatred for you deep within. Your "BIGGEST MISTAKE", at least I am something. You put me down. You have emotionally beaten and berated me. Yet for some reason I have stuck around. No more will I let you. I don't deserve to be treated like this. I am something. You are nothing. I can go on without you. I can leave you behind. When I do though, is when you will find That it was not I who needed you, but you who needed me To beat down and abuse, almost constantly. I will pick myself up, and brush of the dirt. I will clean myself up and put away that skirt. I'll trade it in for my pen and paper. With that pen and paper I will show them the broken girl you made me. I will show them behind our smiles. I will show the monster you are.
