Eating me alive

I'm being eaten alive

from the inside out.

i can feel it

It's oozing and festering

trying to consume me.

I close my eyes

and I can see it

this little monster

growing bigger by the day

Glowing eyes,

a grin filled with mischief

covered in pus and boils

It's filled with

my rage and sorrow.

it feeds off of all my negative emotions.

I try to hide it

to close it off from the rest of me.

It just makes it worse

I'm afraid to let it out

but it's boiling over

it's consuming me

Eating me alive from the inside out

Until I am nothing.
