There’s monsters in my heart;
Everyday they threaten
To tear me apart;
But there’s nothing I can do;
The very essence in my body
Beginning to unscrew;
Not sure where it came from;
Can’t even remember things I should,
The memories won’t come.
So into the swallowing darkness
I wallow,
Knowing, not ever,
Will anyone follow.
I strive for greatness,
But I’m insignificant
To the faithless.
In this world I am feared and hated,
I want to start over;
reform clean-slated;
But I guess it can’t work that way,
Why can’t the world be perfect,
I can never say.
So I fall in deeper,
The darkness in my mind
Growing like an ivy creeper;
Never to see the light again,
Can no longer...play pretend.
