My Monster

From my real experience.

My mind brooding negativity,
I don't want your apology or pity.

I'm holding on by this final thought,
it can't be sold, it can't be bought.

There is a battle raging inside,
I try and try but I can no longer hide.

The monster inside is destroying me,
no escape, no way to break free.

I am following it's clear instruction,
leading me along self destruction.

I've been fighting this all alone,
my thoughts chilling me to the bone.

The darkness encircling my mind,
the monster has a deep bind.

But this is where I make a stand,
this was not how my life was planned.

I can fight but I need you,
you need to help me pull through.

Take my hand and take me there,
show me that you really care.
