The MONSTER Under My Bed

This feeling consumes me

I don’t know what it is or what causes it

I only know it NEVER leaves

It controls my every waking thought

My reality?

It has been altered

And I shall NEVER return to the old me

This feeling that I

Dread, Desire, Disgust

Has changed the things that I place around myself

FOREVER

This feeling that had brought me so much uncertainty

Makes me doubt if I can live without

Welcome to what I wanted

Wait, no, what I needed

I used to believe that air was the most important thing

I realize that I was WRONG

This feeling has convinced me that air comes in second

As I examine who I have become

I no longer see daddy’s little girl

Instead, I have become the thing that I was most afraid of

The MONSTER under my bed
