Monster's Cage

A monster

Rages inside me,

Clawing and growling

Making me weak

Day after day,

It gets harder to stand

I have no energy

I can't see straight

Anymore

I'm sick

I'm coughing up blood

I can't lift my arms no more

Moving anything hurts

The monster inside me

Has an insatiable appetite

He claws at his cage

Hoping to find someone

New

To eat and claw at

Finally, I can take no more

I give in to the monster

I relax and close my eyes

My final words:

"Don't let the monster

Find the others!"

My last wish:

May no one ever be hungry again.
