The Monster
The monster scratches
Screams
Yells
It's deadly and virulent
The monster attaches itself
To me
To you
Through Me
The monster torments me
Reminders of the past
Actions of the present
Implications of the future
It is the monster that
Steals
Kills
Destroys
The monster is silent
Careful
Surprising
It brings tears and fears
When its ugly head reels
The monster. . . . . .
Scratches
Screams
Yells
