Monster mind

Monster mind

I am the monster in your mind,

Burning you from within,

While without, no one guess what I do.

Gnawing at your sanity,

I will rip you to shreds.

I am the tireless beast,

Who never lets you rest,

Never lets you escape

From the past you’ve left behind.

I am the one with many names:

My name is memory;

Bringer of tears of sadness and joy,

Smiles of happiness and sorrow.

Bearer of anger and herald of nostalgia,

I am the devourer of peace.

I bring to life long-forgotten grudges

And all you’ve tried to forget.

I make you regret what you did,

And question what you didn’t.

I attack anywhere and everywhere,

In broad daylight or

 In the cold and lonely night.

You have no escape from me,

For I reside in your mind.

You have no defense against me

For I am within,

And without me 

You have no defense 

To the things without.
