monsterdoodles

2011-12-15T05:26:00.002-05:00

a monster once lived inside my mind
on all my feelings and thoughts it dined
(it also enjoyed lemon rind)
meanwhile i pretented not to mind
while it picked my brains and robbed me blind
of all inhibitions of wrong and right
it kept me awake in bed at night
it broke my heart, it stole my soul
leaving my body an empty hole
and so hungry and wretched i too, came to be
i learned that all along, that monster was me
