A monster lurks
Whispering in my ear
Encouraging every doubt
And feeding every fear
He blocks everything else
Until he is all I hear

A monster lurks
Whispering such horrid lie
His voice so very alluring
His tongue so very sly
Drowning me in misery
And I can't even cry

A monster lurks
A whispering moan
"Why would anyone care
if you were all alone?"
"Stop it, stop it" I say
And made my heart of stone

A monster lurks
Whispers poison my mind
Looking for the way out
But he is all I can find
His noxious gas keeps me
So alone and so confined

A monster lurks
Whispering in terrible glee
Even as hard as I try
I can't seem to break free
Funny how I am so controlled
By a being I can't even see

A monster lurks
I can feel him there
I know I can't win
He's not playing fair
My mind, his fortress
My fears, his lairs

A monster lurks
Both day and night
He keeps me disarmed
So I can't even fight
Filling my sight with darkness
I can't see the light

A monster lurk
His identity remains a mystery
A monster lurks
Using only deceit and trickery
A monster lurks
Battling for the final victory
