Monster in the Mirror

A poem designed to show a person dealing with the darkness within himself

The monster was there when I opened my eyes
I could see it even though it was wearing a disguise
It's wicked eyes stared into me
with a hatred so dark yet only I could see

The murders that stained this creature's hand
was a lot more than I could stand
though I've tried time and time again
I cannot seal the monster within

The longer I gaze into the mirror
the monster's image becomes clearer
until it's finall there for the world to see
the monster that lives inside of me
