My Monsters
Late at night the pain comes back
My dark thoughts come out and stay
All I want is to fall asleep
Just to chase them all away
They hijack my brain and corrupt my soul
Forcing my lack of sleep
Unhappiness floods my brain
Thinking of the promises I couldn't keep
As the clock ticks on
I fight the losing battle against my brain
My insecurities fester and psych me out
Driving me insane
I'm suffocated my the feeling
Slowly closing in on me
I'm wishing I was different
Wishing for a person I could never be
But the voices will never listen
They won't leave me alone
They lurk inside my mind depriving me
They found their forever home
It's silly to me that I was once afraid
Of the monsters underneath my bed
Because the real monsters I had to face
Were the demons inside my head
As the morning light rises and my eyes shut
I escape from where I've been
The morning offers relief
At least until the night comes around again

Wow MORGAN!!..... When I first started writing on Cosmo it was to distract myself from the pain..... the lack of sleep caused by pain.....I was bedridden for three years...... This eloquent write reminds me VERY much of myself and where I was three years ago..... you have taken poetic verse into the depths, sharing yourself, with an A,B,A,B rhyme scheme, and with us all!!...... great sense of rhythm and timing here..... perfectly formatted.......but what is so compelling here is the honesty..... the honesty takes us with you..... it's well conceived and BEAUTIFULLY delivered!!.....ALL STARS!!...... well done brother poet!!...... and ......WELCOME to COSMO!!.......LOVE and ROCKETS!!......T xo ?✳✴☀
Ps. Thanx for the flashback my friend!
Thanks so much!! It's really nice to know that other people are so similar when you look deeper than the surface! It's honestly so surprising and that's what I love most about poetry. It's the ability to be brutally honest and pour out your feelings as you make connections with new people.
