It’s a terrible raging beast and it tears the very inside of me.
It’s ugly and mean, willing to kill and destroy.
It has no heart for tenderness for it put scars and tears on mine.
I always have to fight to keep it inside and away from the ones I love.
Sometimes it consumes me and I become someone I’m not.
It’s greedy and selfish, it’s brutal and terrifying.
I can’t bear to look at it.
It’s the monster inside of me and it wants out.
If only I could be rid of it, then I would be happy!
If only its existence is vanquished, I could rest easy!
For it is ugly and scary, and merciless and- and scary.
It’s slowly destroying me.
I pray to you now Lord.
Strike down the beast.
Free me from these chains and tell me I’m ok.
Tell me I’m free and the monster is gone.
But- what?
You made me realize father-
The only monster still terrorizing me is…
Me.
