A little poem I wrote a while ago

[Secret Keeper]

The Monsters Within

Please, hear me out,
I swear that it's true,
Just give me a moment
And I'll prove it to you.

I'm not scared of the dark
Or monsters under my bed,
I know they're not there,
But they live in my head

They won't leave me alone,
They never do sleep
I can't find an escape,
I'm the hostage they keep

I'm being drowned slowly
Watching everyone breathe
They say I'm dramatic
They don't see me Bleed

No one can see the darkness
Consuming me from within
I can't fight it much longer
Is that really a sin?

I think I'll start over,
and clean off the slate
By the time that they notice
It will be too late

Beautifully written and well done.

I loved this so much:

I'm not scared of the dark
Or monsters under my bed,
I know they're not there,
But they live in my head
