The Monster Inside of Me
May 17, 2015
Fighting with it seems impossible to win
Frowning on the inside awaiting for just a grin
Tired of putting on a happy mask
Having sick feelings at every little task
Wanting to be back to how I used to be
Agraid I'll never go back and this is the new me
Tired of it always pinning me down
Making my mask even turn into a frown
Thinknig who is the monster that won't let me be?
Found out I was at war with myself....
It was me.

Anxiety and Depression is a monster a lot of us have inside us. At times it's hard to distinguish the difference between ourselves and the depression. I wrote this poem when I was in the mist of darkness depression often leads to. Now, I have received help and realized that I was not the cause of my depression. The monster inside of me what not ME. I wanted to publish this poem so people can know that I know how depression feels. But, I am living proof that it can get better. YOU ARE NOT THE MONSTER INSIDE OF YOU...even when at times it feels that way.
