Monster

Lungs collapsed, 
I try to gasp in air
but there is nothing but lies around
and I choke.

Softly, scream,
because we can't breathe
in this destructive mess,
but we'll do our best.

I'll try to stay
on top of this monster,
but it will steal my sanity,
and I will lose my mind, soul, heart, and body.

There's nothing you can do but watch
as I tear myself apart,
and I'm sorry,
because we will shred to pieces,
and it is all because of me,
and this monster I fight.
