Since I was little people told me monsters don't exist, grown ups invented them to keep little kids safe. What my parents told me was that monsters live under my bed or inside my closet and if I didn't go to sleep they were going to jump and scare the **** out of me, I never believed on them but right now I sincerely want that monsters were as my parents told me because compared to the ones we have inside our heads those monsters look like kids. I've always been a shy person, with few friends to play or talk I always thought that I was happy and I truly was but when my biggest enemy, the monster I am really scared of came I saw how my simple boring life became hell on earth. I tried to fight it by my own but after a year having to deal with this monster by myself I got tired and I gave up I think that was what he wanted since the beginning. That was when I started telling my friends how I felt and what they always said was that this was temporary and that in a couple of months I'll be fine, but you know what? that was a lie, the hope they gave me was like food for him because this hope made him bigger and stronger having now full control of my thoughts, now I'm just a puppet and he is my puppeteer, I'm just a game and he is playing me, I am under his control and I'm tired of it. Depression is the monster I fear the most but after all its the only one whose been at my side since the beginning. So now when people tell you monsters don't exist just remember monsters are hidden in your head and they are waiting for the right time to attack your thoughts and gain control of your body.
