The Monster Inside

It scares me
I fear it
I wish it would go away
It comes after me at night
It is my nightmare I fight

I try to fight it but
It keeps coming back
I try to run away
But it catches me
If I let it take control
What might it grow to be

When I look in the mirror
It stares me in the face
It looks sad, lonely and
misplaced
I have to shut my eyes before
its too late
Its taken control of me
What have I become
