Monsters are real
But they don't live under your bed
They aren't some made up ordeal
They live in your head
The monsters I run from you can't see
They aren't invisible
They are inside of me
I can see the monster in the mirror
And when I lean in
It comes a bit nearer
"Don't worry dear"
It whispers to me
You're the only one here
And then I see
The thing in the mirror is my reflection
All the monsters are staring
Picking on my imperfection
The names of the monsters I know quite well
They are Fear, Doubt, Anxiety and Worry
Inside they fester and dwell
And now that I am alone they un-burry
Sometimes the monsters win
I will not let them this time
I will not give into sin
Because this is my LIFE, this is my TIME

PoetryThings I never had the courage to say aloud but wrote down instead, hoping that one day another soul like myself would come across it; hoping that someday someone could relate and be able to say 'I am not alone.' ♡Poetry♡ (Cover wasn't drawn by me)
