My Nightmare Of The Monster, Me Poem by Kimberly Santistevan

I look in the mirror
And see all of my fears.

The ones that have happened
And the ones that soon will.

I look into its eyes
And see nothing
But blackness.

It’s cold and lonely,
Just like me.

I see this monster
That is inside me.

It wants to come out,
I won’t let it destroy
What I have around me.

It wants to see me suffer
So I hide in the corner of my room.
Sit there and think things through.

I begin to cry,
I remember what that monster looks like.
It is truly my ultimate nightmare
It is just in my mind.

It doesn’t go away,
I keep thinking about its face.
So discolored with so many shades.

I tightly close my eyes
Open them within a few seconds.

I awake in my own bed,
The sun pours in so wonderfully
I smile knowing that it was just a dream.

A dream that will not come true,
And I will not dream of my monster again
Because I have changed
I do not see that monster
When I look into that one mirror.
