Monsters in My Head

They run and scream,
Never quiet or hide.
They are always so mean,
They tell me to lie.

They tell me to say I'm okay,
When really I want to drown.
They keep me crying where I Upon my head is a broken crown.

I used to tell people how I felt,
Until I got told I was fake.
This girl made my heart melt,
Trusting her was a mistake.

My mom told me I was safe,
But was I really?
I feel I need to protect my face,
With all these school shootings.

These things led up to something,
Something big.
They led to me listening,
To the monsters in my head.

They run and scream,
Never quiet or hide.
They are always so mean,
They tell me to lie.
