Monsters

January 10, 2014

If I could change one thing about me

I would change the monsters that I see.

They are all around me screaming at me to punish myself

you don't deserve that food

you don't deserve to drink that water

you don't deserve to drive

you don't deserve to go to school

you don't deserve to have nice things

you don't deserve

When will these monsters go away?

I just want to stop being their prey
