Monsters
Monsters come a running
From the very deep
That can seem so real
And at times I cannot sleep
The come from the corners
Of my fragile mind
And I don’t know why
The can be so unkind
I try and fight them
To keep them at bay
But they can be so strong
That the come to stay
I wrestle with them daily
Fight them I try
And I go into battle
And stand firm
And time stands still
And goes slowly by
I bravely face these monsters
For they are from my past
I know that they can no longer hurt me
But the pain is already cast
I do hold on to hope
That one day they will leave my mind
And I do daily pray
Another place they will find
I do not wish the monsters on anyone
For they are angry and fierce
I do silent scream for them to leave
And I am sure the air does pierce
But they have been with me for so long
That I have learnt to cope
But to be from them for just one moment
I do live in hope
I can only describe these monsters
That battle in my mind
As being very nasty
And they cross the line of insanity
And I am then lost I do find
Every waking hour I do battle
But I do try to distract
For the last glimmer of hope
To stay fully intact
I usually don’t talk about these monsters
For on my soul they run deep
And in my fragile mind
They are mine to keep
I don’t mean to feel sorry for myself
As these monsters are now part of me
But for once I would like some peace
And these monsters to let me be
