My Monster

Itching 

flaking

burning

cracking

becomes a sequence

when the layers peel one by one

Like an onion it cracks and peels

it falls and steals

the tears from your eyes.

It’s an obvious secret

not so secretive at all

One that can take over your whole life

and make you feel small

but I’m not small

im quite tall 

19, a model I’ve done well…

until the monster comes out of me

then everyone will see

But that’s my life now just passing the time 

waiting for that day 

the final day 

that the monster will come out to play

He will take over my mind and body

He will make it worse in every way

use cream they say 

but how can I explain the sleepless nights and never ending pain

which is driving me insane.

I once would of liked to be a full time model

it was a dream of mine

but soon I’ll look like an onion

peeling like at the start

falling apart 

impossible to end

and here we go again 

itching

flaking

burning

cracking
