monsters are lurking

It's always run but never fight. I fought.

By Lone SoulPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Teeth like pitchforks

Eyes like a tsunami

Sitting behind your huge throne

Yelling

“Good riddance!”

No, not for you,

Just for me.

You wanted me to nod

Bow down and kneel

Live with your words

Forever engraved in my brain

Saying

“You’ll never be anything!”

Oh, but I am,

Just much more than you could imagine.
