Each of my siblings
and myself got
a super powered
life long demon
that follows
from our
childhood.
Mine is deep,
dark loneliness.
The kind that never
goes away.
It lives in my stomach,
and causes me to
have outbursts of rage
and tears.
I have tried every drug,
alcohol and therapy to
make it leave.
It’s an ugly faced
monster that *****
all the joy out of life
and repeats,
“you’re gonna die alone”
in my ear.
And to be honest,
it isn’t wrong.
Men have been proving
him right since 2013.
