THE MONSTER


I always fight this monster,
a savage beast it is,
with dreadful eyes, sharp teeth,
fearless claws, gigantic feet.

I draw my sword and aim for blood,
to kill the savage beast.
But as i try to hit him he fills my eyes with sorrow,
holds me with his claws, in a grip firm and thorough.

I try to flee, to escape somehow,
but the beast is savage strong.
I look into those dreadful eyes but all I see is sorrow.
I see myself in a broken promise of tomorrow.

I always fight this monster,
a savage beast it is.
But sometimes it's hard to see him.
It's hard to see a truth like this.

Would that monster be the insiduous one in the mind, the one with the cold, slimy tendrils of bottomless grief?
This is so well written!
Hope you are doing well.
