the monster behind closed doors

He lurked in the shadows,
Lusting for a glimpse,
The world full of horrors,
I knew it ever since..
No one really cares,
Listens from within,
Too scared to dare,
Say it ever again..
Reminded of the dark,
The heavens obscene..
The weight you have to bear,
Your soul distinct.
You are left there, knowing it's not fair,
The father continues dutifully,
While you lie there desperate in plea..

Trying to get to justice,
Pushed away like dust,
Resorting to killing,
If that's what you must..
Being labeled a devil,
A reincarnated ghost,
Hands holding a shovel,
Blinded by revenge, an undying thirst..
Said to be a lost case,
Deemed to be insane,
Like a ruined vase,
Past dreams broken..
Spiriling into the darkness lingering,
By a 15-minute act,
your life in shreds..
No one believes,
No one sheds a tear,
The same people look down on you,
The ones you held dear..
He passes away, respected here,
But if it consoles you,
he'll be rotting forever
