Monster I Am

When I feel, I feel everything, Cut deep to the bone Can't you hear me screaming? Please don't leave me alone Watch blood pour down my cheek Let me show you the skin under every nail Watch for evidence that I'm weak Let me show you my personal Hell Emotions and insanity are all I know, Eating me inside and out Stay too long and I won't let you go Listen for the agony in my shout Rivulets of tears drip off my chin, From eyes that desperately plea, Save my soul again and again Always I fall into depressions vast sea Don't you ever dare reject me Don't you ever dare leave from my sight Or else I will unleash the terror I can be Or else against you I will fight Won't you look into my eyes? Won't you listen to the words I don't say? As I mix the truth with the lies, Together we pray I won't go crazy today Unchain the five year old, That steers the adult I seem to be With a violent, strangling hold, The five year old becomes me When the world I see is strange, And I don't believe I can That's when you watch me change, Into the devilish monster I am
