To what keeps me up at night

To what leaves me stressed of the mistakes I created

To what takes away my freedom at night

You have stolen my only happiness 


To being titled the worst mental thing

 a thing, humans cannot change

To what can change a dream into hell 

To what can end a person's hope


You and I are the same

To hurting one’s designed life

To ruining a vision of harmony

To be hated by everyone you tried helping


You are a psychiatrist biggest enemy 

You are like a night terror friend

You are like a paralysis that controls sleep

You are like a feeling that drags one down


You’re an outcast

You betray others and yourself

You hurt kids, you hurt yourself

You aren’t perfect, just yourself 

You aren’t kind, nice and sweet


You are hidden

A mask

A liar that deceives everything 

A creature that doesn’t understand itself


A demon,

A devil 

A curse

You are in all of us, you are me.

We tell children that monsters lies under out bed yet we don't tell them the rest, we don't tell them that the monsters are in all of us, just a spark waiting to be sparked.
