A Monster Lives Inside of Me
A monster lives inside of me. It’s lived there for as long as I can remember, way down deep in the pit of my belly. Sometimes I wonder if it’s the same monster that had fueled my father's rages, if that was what made his eyes go cold and empty when he would scream at me.
I thought that I had gotten my monster from my father. It had never been as ferocious as his, but it was there and I fight like hell to keep it docile.
But sometimes when I get angry, the monster comes out. I know it and I had worked for years to learn how to control it, but sometimes the monster still gets the better of me. When I hurt, I get angry. And when I am angry, it’s easy to lose myself.
So I have to ask you as my lover and as my friend to acknowledge that I accept who I am and you must be sure that it is this person in which you choose to stand beside.
