The Monster

A moment you can’t make

a feeling you can’t shake

I am the monster

they tell you is fake


 

I am the apathy

leftover from hate

I’m what they hate

that’s what they’ll say


 

I’m the enemy

to me

I’m the burden

to you

I’m nothing

to them

‘till they notice too


 

I’m like a leech

I take

and take

You’ll never even notice

‘till it’s too late

The monster isn’t me

but it’s who I’ve come to be

I’m sorry

I’m sorry

I’m sorry


 

A moment you can’t make

a feeling you can’t shake

I am the monster

destroying dreams in my wake

    a chance

    to be free

    a chance to see a woman be

    something new and

    different

    I have a plan

    I am

    I am

    I’m running so fast

    going nowhere

    just going

    forever

    I won’t stop to catch my breath

    I won’t stop for life or death

    I’ll keep going

    going

    going

    I know

    pitiful laughs and lies

    and joys and cries

    and love and skies

    that are most breathtakingly

    blue


     

    I know

    the good and sad

    the ugly and bad

    the boiling mad
