When you have so much potential in your life
You have the whole world ahead of you
Millions of thousands of hundreds of options
Just out of reach

But there's something holding you back
Something that won't allow you to move forward
And keeps dragging you back to a life you once had
And a life you can't stand

It's like a monster that keeps tearing you down when you reach the top
A beast that refuses to stop
And you continue to fall

What must you do?
Slay this beast?
What must be done to make this monster leave?
Only you know

Because the monster that keeps making you fall
Is you

I did something that (emotionally) hurt my family and those around me just as everything was starting to look up, and in a way I kept tearing myself down
