It crawls in my skin,

it rushes through my veins.

It doesn't allow my wounds to heal,

it screams for freedom,

the monster inside.

It blackens my soul,

and kills me from the inside out.

It wants freedom,

but I am no monster.

I am never alone,

it's always with me.

The shadows of my past,

close in like a sharks on blood.

I am no monster,

it will not be freed!
