Monster Within
by
Sherene Delgado
The sneaky thief that comes with no warning
The pain
The despair he causes
Yet does not care
The brief cure we produce only hides us from his view
Hides us until he sees clearly once again
Until he comes after us again
There is no escape from his embrace
For he comes for you subtly
From deep within you
You try to fight him
But you become his victims
His prize
For all time
Never realizing you can break away
But only until you face him
Until you take control
Of what is to come
