Monster

What have I become?

A creature with no heart,

That would turn on it's own mother.

It's own family.

Death seeks me.

I hide from it.

It smells my fear.

My angst.

My malice.

My shame.

And my self-loathing.

I am disgusted with myself.

What have I done?

Living off the pain of others.

Caring only for myself.

My own cowardliness amazes me.

And yet I can always find in myself that I have sunken to an all-time low.

People show me kindness, compassion, love…

They gently show me my faults

My weaknesses.

But I lash out in anger

Thinking my own self perfect.

Too arrogant to acknowledge my deceit of myself.

I have become so selfish and everyone around me,

People avoid me.

Quickly glance at me and away.

With disgusted looks.

Whispers.

Whispers all around.

I can't play the victim anymore.

Ill never be loved nor cared for.

Why?

Because I'm a monster.
