Yes
There's a monster in my head

He makes me dread
Everything
Like the worst is always about to come

He makes me fear
Everyone
Even when they're trustworthy

He comes out
Late at night
He claims he doesn't want to hurt me
But he always does

He makes me question myself
And those I love
For no reason

Yes
There's a monster in my head

He makes me lie for hours in bed
And for some comedic relief
I called him fred
Fred the monster
Living rent-free in my head
Please leave me alone
I don't need you at all


Fred doesn't leave
He just sits there
As if he has a right
To take up space
I only have so much
What you're doing isn't fair Fred
Please go away
