PERSONAL POETRY

A Monster You Can't See

It's been a long time since I've had a breakdown

My emotional state going straight to the ground

I blame the thoughts keeping me up at night

I wonder if I'm ever going to be alright

My demons are always around

During the dark hours they surround

Like a whistle over my head

They run filling me with dread

I thought I was cured from that state

But all of a sudden I began to shake

I tried to keep it hidden

But now, I'm breaking from within

I'm not fine at all

It's taking its toll

How do I keep it out?

Stop heading south

If only the irrational thoughts haunting me

The monsters you can't really see

Would just let me be

I just wanna be happy
