My Monster

The painful knocking in my pounding head 

The way his big dark eyes are filled with death

I cannot do it just as he has said 

He won’t allow me to take my own breath 

Can I finally try to be myself 

Never is all he will ever say back 

He shrinks me down to the size of an elf 

Confidence he knows I will somehow lack 

I have no one to help me fight him off 

No one will come for a sad broken girl 

He knows he’s the horse and I am the trough 

Constantly eating my soul like a whirl 

He will never leave my breakable side 

The only thing I can ever do is hide

It is about my depression and how I struggle with it I’m ok though I promise
