Thoughts from my brain

Unknown

I saw it,
amongst the darkness,
a monster lurking around in the depths of the shadows.
What was it?
Unknown.

During the daylight it crept around,
watching and waiting.
When night fell it would approach me,
but say no words,
and do nothing
just watch.

As time went on it got more confident,
walked a little bit further,
got a little bit closer.
Until one day we finally spoke,
the creature and I,
I began to learn,
why it did in fact hide.

It wasn't a creature,
nothing like that at all,
but a part of me,
a part of my mind and my soul,
that I pushed down.

It appeared late a night
and say things that would frighten me and scare me.
I used to try and hide from it,

I tried to force it away,
to keep it hidden,
yet it managed to emarge
and once it appeared it wouldn't go away.

No, it just got closer.

I attempted to to run away,
to shout for help,
but I had no voice
it was futile.
In the end it was always going to reach me.

I was always going to die.
