The Monster Inside

I can not escape

The beast in my mind

I can not hide from

Him or his kind

I can guard my heart

From what's outside

But how do i fight

When the threat is inside

Doubt, self hatred

Anxiety, fear

These are the monsters

Who are always near

Always so loud

When i try to ignore

Always so eager

To mess with the score

They laugh and

And they whisper into my ear

Hateful things

I do not want to hear
