Monster (2014)
This poem originally appeared on Sumayyah Said So.
mantra of self-delusion
everyday say its all fine
when inside my soul is ripped to shreds
and my heart no longer beats
there is a monster wearing my skin
parading around using my face
throwing stones inside this house of glass
carving trinkets out of my bones
the truth is leaking out
drip by drip and lie by lie
beloved of no one
conjures curses
blessings have passed me by
demon in head possessing my mind
moving my jaws with puppetry
makeshift stage i dance upon
gaping chasm where i used to be
who is this monster that i see?

the strength of mantra will invite our avatar
but als wake our beast inside us
cause we contain wild monster
our own monster
ita can be swallow ourselves
and brea everything whis faced
if a mantra is a praying
so we can hope good will
which guide us to defeat the beast
and face another beast, it's our greed
I felt so many emotions while reading this poem. These lines describe my feelings right now:
It is just difficult to always say you're okay when you're feeling the exact opposite. Sometimes it is hard to assure yourself when you already know what's going to happen. Sad but true.
At the same time, when we say we're not okay, it seems like people don't really care. <3
