Inner Monster

My inner monster lurks around. Amid my anxieties, it can be found. What I believed is hard to face, Is where trauma finds a hiding place. It could evade, disguise, and get loose. This is the time to confront; disabuse. Only I can set me free, Transcending this horrific grasp on me. I sneak a look from behind my screen, Allowing this part of me, feared, to be seen--- This monster I created; as both strong and mean. Carved out by a child, routinely chastised Finally, its power and soul to be demised.
