The Monster Within

Nobody to call for, always scared
Knowing deep down that people don't care
God is all I have, I listen to what he has to say
Hands together kneeling as I begin to pray
I don't feel safe whenever I'm home
Every time the monster emerges, I feel like stone
Always in constant dread
Hoping he won't eat away at my head
A number of times he's preyed on my fear
Every time he chokes me, mother never hears
As I lay in bed, watching the door
Constantly sweating as it creeks a little more
The monster appears and asks why I'm sad
Yelping in fear crying "Don't do it, dad".
