Him and I (part two to the Monster)
I hate life
A lot to be honest,
Because it sucks
And I ask for help, sometimes even offer it
But no one wants it,
What should I do is the question to ask
I know, I pull out my flask,
I could try do it on my own
Or can I,
I don’t know
So all I do is sit here and mourn,
About a child that was never to be born.
Not a literal child
But a child to represent myself,
Just to prove I don't need help.
This child was never born because,
Her mother gave up on her when she was young
Too young,
The child raised herself
She taught herself everything
and to only see disappointment in her parent’s eyes
She feels a need as if to cry
But she doesn't she holds it in
Deep inside
So when people ask
‘Please tell me, what's wrong?'
I smile and say nun.
Because I've lasted this long
I brush myself off and deal with my problems
Doomed to only see disappointment in the eyes of my dad and Mum
I'm fine I say,
Clear as day.
I am, really, ok
Or so I wish to be so I try hard
Just to fail and feel like a retard
There is no us it's just he and I,
The monster within, deep inside
There is no need to worry because I'm fine,
I swear I would never think of suicide
But it does hurt this sadness
I can't explain
The incredible amount of pain
That I must face
day by day
Hurting myself is pointless to be honest,
I don't understand the people who do it,
But then again do I even really understand myself
With the monster saying it’s just us
Who really knows,
But all I need to do is toughen up,
I can do this on my own,
I've done it more than once
I'm ok is all I say,
Because I'm fine on the outside
But not deep, deep inside
I can get through I have to try,
Its either get through or lose my happiness and die,
Deep on the inside
So I'm fine I know I am,
This is why writing is helping like this poem
I can do this I know I can,
I need to cope,
With what I have,
So the only thing left for me is, hope
It's me and the monster,
Our final duel,
I need to prove who is the one that rules,
This kingdom of my sanity,
The one I must escape
Because if I don't
It will be too late
And I can't let that happen
Not now,
Not ever
He can't take me again
I won't run to him
I can fend for myself
I can be without him
I must
I've learned I can't and never will trust him again
We are done
And this time I will win
And I will say all the time ‘Ha! I won’
I’m shaking my head
I'm not dead
No not yet
He won't kill me
I won't stop calling for help
Because he's scared
I know he is
I know his weakness
It’s love and care
And I will hurt him
I will survive
To tell the story of him and I
And People will say
"It’s only her
To tell the story of his murder”
I just finished a story right here
A story of my self
First I was fighting him off
Now I'm almost there
And I will have the final part
Showing I am no longer scared
