monster

Natalia B. Odair

My thoughts infect me

Poison in my head

Will my brain be better

Before I’m dead?

I claw at the thoughts

That keep me awake

I can’t stay afloat

I’ll drown in this lake

I seem put together

I’m falling apart

Should I follow my gut

Or follow my heart?

I try to control

That’s a fantasy dream.

They days that are bad

I just want to scream

I live with a monster

That monster is me

Before the bells toll

Will I ever be free?
