Monsters don’t exist
Still, we are very afraid
Because we made them
Monsters. A concept so often used to represent anything dislikable to society, which we are afraid of. Yet literal monsters don’t exist.

You told me
"You could do better."
But all I could think of was
"Why would I?"
My life's too dreary
Why did I boast?
Now I'm paying the cost
Oh! I'm so weary

Been on too many journeys
Carrying heavy loads
On life's numerous roads
Too weak to survive life's tourneys

They told me home is best
There I can find the cure
Then maybe,I'll become pure
When the beast in me finds rest

That's why I'm here on my knee
With tears in my eye
Sorry 'bout you and I
I'm still just trying to find me.

and in Your secret
and silent dwelling places,
love overwhelms me -
unfailing and unchanging,
deeper and deeper i fall

He won’t write for me
He won’t write to me
I wonder what
He will say
When we finally meet
Distant lover
Please come closer

you
I think God
spent extra time on you
and the way you look at me
makes me feel like
that applies to me too

stories are made for enchantment
our hearts are even meant
we hold hands
staring at each others eyes
and there's a spark
the hints of lies

our heartbeats
can never be in sync;
for I know mine
will always be beating
faster than yours

Enough.

I’m leaving,
I mean, what did you expect?

To hit me, time and time again,
then for me to feel respect?

That’s just stupid,
as am I

for not realizing you were sooner,
only now, saying goodbye.

But it’s okay,
because I’ve learnt from my mistake

and you were my biggest one,
and the only I will ever make
I've had enough.
