ok this isnt my best really im just venting.....so yeah i dont even know if it will make sense to any of you.....it still needs some work


I invented this monster
For fun?
I’m not quite sure
It seemed good at the time
I could put on this mask each day
And I was different
And had such a mysterious way of living
But the more I lived that way
The more I lost myself
I became more like the masked person each day
The person that no one seemed to like
But with everyday I was more and more like that person
Until I lost myself completely
I’m in the dark without a light
And the monster that wasn’t
So big
Or so scary in the beginning
Has become over towering
And gruesome
People don’t realize how little of me is left
And I hate them for not knowing
And not hearing my screams
I hate them for saying
It will be better in the morning
Or I could be better if I wanted too
Because it will never be better in the morning
And I can’t be better
Each time I try to be who I “should” have been
I’m a stranger to myself
I truly don’t remember how to be me
I never thought this monster would overpower me
I thought I was strong enough to stand against it
But it has me pinned against the wall
And I can’t fight it anymore


one morning you wake up afraid you are going to live

I loved this one.  It kinda reminds me of something, but I am not sure if that is your situation or not, so nevermind.  You did  a good job venting!!

My tears roll right down my cheeks, but they all soak into my pillow.  I feel kinda sorry for it...

I thought the ending was very powerful......well done on this one  

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Learning how to walk, Learning how to talk, are the hardest thing to do in a baby life. Learning how to walk for me is the hardest thing to do.
