    Monster in my Head
    Growing up I was never afraid of the monsters under the bed
    They were never as frightening as the monster inside my head
    This monster scares me, it struck me with a terrible affliction
    The monster I speak of goes by the name addiction
    He has been lurking around up there for as long as I can remember
    Says to me he will never let go, he will always be the winner
    He keeps me down by reminding me of my haunted past
    Tells me that nobody could know how I feel, I am an outcast
    He knows all of my secrets and he throws them in my face
    Says I will never escape his grip, I am such a disgrace
    A monster with all the power, says he is the all mighty
    He knows just what to say to make me forget about fighting
    My bleeding heart tells me that the monster is all wrong
    But the monster in my head reminds me that he is so strong
    How do I run away from something that is inside my head
    Will he chase me to the very end, unitl I am finally dead
    If it were not for my family helping me to fight this fight
    I am afraid the monster would get me, and kill me with his fright
    Moment by moment we have to fight him day by day
    Monster, monster will you forever leave me and go away?

    sadly, the monster will never go away. but in time, he will fade into the background, yet always waiting to attack at your weakest moments. its a hard struggle but one well worth it. it gets easier, i promise. keep your face to the sunshine and you can never see the shadows!

    Fighting the beast is the hardest part of the battle, but once you win, you will find peace that will last you a life time. I enjoyed this Poem as I can tell it came from the heart.

    How terribly sad but if it wasn't for this, we wouldn't have met and become such good friends. I am always here for you honey. We will get through this addiction together.

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
