" The Monster"

By grantrizmo2002

”The Monster”

Oh God, wont you help me?,
I alone unlocked his cage,
Now he leaves me not,
Ive allowed him to find his place,

His shackles tear into my brain,
Refusal to pull away,
My spirit has been extinguished,
Is this the price that I must pay?

I call him the monster,
Only he controls my fate,
I call him the monster,
Endless supply of hate,

I call him the monster,
Weighed down by lifes bricks,
I call him the monster,
But you call him dopesick,

He used to be so small,
Would only come around a bit,
Now he comes as he pleases,
And leaves me in my shit,

When he calls my name,
I must drop everything and run,
For he holds my hourglass,
His will must be done,

This empty shell sits all alone,
If I could only alter time,
Id put the monster where he belongs,
And leave it all behind,

I call him the monster,
And I dont know what to do,
He lives inside us all,
Can you hear him speaking to you?

I call him the monster.......

    Yes, the fact that all humans have a monster inside us, I've decided to be an environmentalist. For see, nature does not contain a monster. If you really think about it, all we really have is brains and hands. I enjoyed this piece because it made me think. :)

    Addiction is the worst in so many ways. Think I'll re-post "First Fruit Falling From the Tree" tonight, about my daughter's addiction to opiates. Thanks for sharing this and welcome to DP.
