What am I?


I am the creature that calls you a loser

I am the thing that tears you apart

I am the monster that makes you sadder

I am the creature that destroys your dreams

What am I?

I am the one who causes the tears and weeping

I am the one who causes nightmares while you are sleeping

I am the one who takes your hope

I am the one who hurts your friends

What am I?

I am the monster that crushes the light

I am the monster that binds you up tight

I am the monster that hates anything bright

I am the monster that creeps in at night

What am I?

I am the thing that you fear most

I am the thing that you know the best

I am the thing is always with you

I am the thing that sees everything

Can you guess what I am?

I am you…
