Everyone was scared of the monster under the bed. I used to lie on the floor and look into his eyes. They didn’t seem threatening, only lonely and afraid. We would stay there for hours, both of us listening to the crack of cans opening in the other room, wondering what they would fight about tomorrow, what they would blame me for as their eyes went glossy with ***** We lay in silence, not enemies, just two living things caught in the same war. People think of monsters as something outside themselves, but sometimes the monster is what you grow inside yourself, or what you learn to live with in the dark.

Not an enemy
The search for all remains the same an endless search of endless pain That shadow fell across too far to where you were to where you are It stole the joy, and then what's left to live for life or live for death And now you walk from land to land and empty soul an empty man you wish to feel but just can't reach to smell the rose and taste the bleach

Nothingness
If you've felt what i've felt, You'd understand my screams, Your ears cant comprehend, But they rip through my dreams, If you've seen what i've seen, You'd stop asking why, You'd look past the smile, And see the cry, If you knew what i did, Then maybe you'd see, The scars hidden under layers, The real me

Real me
Don't you know better than to flail and struggle when drowning? You need to relax, release. Let the waves cleanse you, take you away, and you'll be okay.

Dont waste your life, Because you think your not enough, Dont sell your soul, Because you think no one understands, You'd be surprised, Of how many people, Join the war, Because they want to mean something, Or die trying, And i dont want you to die, Just because you want a home, Dont go, Please.
