I am the dark, and I’m always the might, I am the monster that lurks in your head, I am the monster that waits in the night, I’ll make you pray to God that you’re not dead. You are too small, you are not strong enough, I will devour and gobble you all up, You cannot get past me, I am too tough, Before you know it, your time will be up. I am the fears that haunt you through the night, I am the shadows that hide in your walls, I will crush you before you see the light, I will see to it that you always fall. I am the monster that lurks in your head, As always, you know it, you will be dead.

The Living Nightmare
I am the dark, and I’m always the might, I am the monster that lurks in your head, I am the monster that waits in the night, I’ll make you pray to God that you’re not dead. You are too small, you are not strong enough, I will devour and gobble you all up, You cannot get past me, I am too tough, Before you know it, your time will be up. I am the fears that haunt you through the night, I am the shadows that hide in your walls, I will crush you before you see the light, I will see to it that you always fall. I am the monster that lurks in your head, As always, you know it, you will be dead.
This is a Sonnet I wrote for a homework assignment at school. Somehow, it went unnoticed by the teacher, but I still got a 100%. To me, this is a poem about depression. I honestly don't know if I have depression or not, but this poem expresses what it feels like.
