The Monster Within Me Poem by Sierra Staten

My inner self is a monster at most.
A powerful monster, a wretched monster.
I am unaware of my own capabilities-
but I am fully aware that I cause nothing but pain.
Many have already left my side,
and though I know the ones near me still are true,
I must go beyond that and take into consideration that;
Monsters are destroyed, day upon day,
Rabid dogs, Misbehaved animals, and monsters worse than myself
are sentenced to death.
And yet here I am,
Causing pain and grief
And yet I am aloud to live.
For it is not me causing the pain- It is the monster within me.
