The Monster.

by Em   Mar 2, 2008


A monster I met one day.
Vicious, full of hatred, agony, and despair,
I tried to run and avoid it,
Sadly, it had me captive in it's cold glare.

The things I saw in it's eyes cannot be explained,
Try to imagine everything you fear and hate.
It was as if the monster knew of me,
The way it kept glaring and growling at me,
I couldn't understand, why is it doing this?

Shaking, I fell onto my knee's,
Feeling of death and an horrible burden started to creep into me,
My breathing was normal but grew shallow, very quickly,
I wanted to scream but I have lost my voice.

Frozen in place I began to grow hysterical,
Paranoia swept over me,
Nervousness began to grow,
Fear was starting to numb me,
I couldn't take it anymore.

I struggled and tried to look away,
But I saw something behind the fear and hate,
Something I should have realized before,
Something I would hate myself for.

The monster I tried to run from,
The monster that made me afraid,
The monster full of agony and hate,
The monsters true identity, is me.
