The monster

The monster lies deep within her,
trying to claw its' way out.
The Dr.'s try to fight him,
engaging in a war that has been waged but so far lost.

The fear is strong,
the knowledge that it can rear
it's head at any time
fueling her fire even more.

Her strength waxes and wanes,
as she avoids the shadows -
bathing, instead, in the sunlight
of possibilities.
