Fear Poem by Reya Anya

I felt a monster rise
Deep inside of me
It filled me with a cold old fear
That no one else could see

I looked in the mirror
To make sure I was still me
But all I saw was a face so white
Eyes darkened by memories

My mind is with you always
And I hate what you've done to me
I wish I could forget you
But I'm not strong enough to leave

I hate what I see in that mirror
I hate all the pain I feel
I'm hurt, wounded, broken
But I'm not strong enough to leave.
