I Need to Run

Let me go.

I need to run–

from this Earth.

It has consumed me alive,

snatched my heartbeats,

for the crime of still breathing.

I need to reach my home.

 

I am a monster

feeding on pain and misery of others;

and people hate monsters.

I ruin their days.

They don't keep me in their rooms.

I darken their places and moods.

Their gazes haunt me

with the truth

of being not human.

 

A monster is all they saw.

They seized my future,

'cause monsters don't have one.

"I don't belong here",

is what they say.

I am a bad monster.

 

If I escape to the world of monsters,

will souls there accept me,

keep me in their rooms,

and call me friend at last?

Will I finally belong?

 

I need to run–

to my own world.

I don't know which door would take me there.

Does anyone know the way?

Can anyone get me to my home?
