Monster Poem by Paige DeRogatis

I know someone mysterious

who's ripping me apart

a criminal behind a mask

who swallowed up my heart


There's a monster searching for me

who longs to see my pain

It destroys my wounded soul

and makes me go insane


I'm scared to face this creature

but she's everywhere I go

a witch who screams in agony

someone you might know


She tortures me in secret

and smiles as I die

She rips apart my veins

and lives to hear my cry


This animal has shut my eyes

so now I cannot see,

but how can I defend myself

if this evil beast is me?
