Alone With My Inner Monster Poem by Jo Anna Griffiths

Alone With My Inner Monster



A numbing fog creeps through my head,
and my eyes glaze over like the living dead.

Trapped inside by the monster I locked away,
I have no choice but to turn and stay.

Malicious eyes peer through the dark night,
burning red, lit by a demonic light.

His wicked smile sends chills down my spine,
as I fight the urge to ball up and cry.

Threatening, towering, a malevolent ghost,
he enforces punishments too much for most.

Reduced to the child I am,
I comply with his requests like a little lost lamb.

Trying to fight back with all my heart,
his ice-cold grip makes me crumble apart.

With hope disappearing like a small rainbow,
all that's left is him and I alone.
