the monster within

I cannot do this anymore

I cannot hide them anymore

The cuts that gash into my skin

Making me in-pure and mutilated

I'm sick. Because I think this is how its supposed to be

Getting better wasn't ever the option

Dealing with the fact that I'm broken

That's the true answer

To accept that I'm a failure

That's the true accusation

So when i go crazy from this life

Just know

I hid that crazy for years and years

Could've been longer

But my demons wanted out

Those demons thrashed and tried to claw out for years and years

The demons who I finally set free

And the kid. Friend. Or sibling you once knew

Oh.

He's long gone

He has been for awhile

He was a masquerade

For making people call him names

For bringing him to his breaking point

You did this

Not me

Not him

You're abusive words and actions

They fractured his shattering soul

The soul he's worked years upon years to fix with glitter and glue

But your last shove was all it took

Now he's come undone

He's unwound

He's broken

He's the monster he's always been afraid he'd become
