This Monster Poem by Tameka Morin

so many thoughts run through my mind
what so i tell them, what do i say?
should i tell them everything's fine,
when i know it's not ok?

so many emotions inside me
how do i really feel?
is this even reality?
is this even real?

'everything's fine! '
what if they know that its a lie
one of them will surely see
when they glance into my eye.

how do i even tell him
how do i let him know?
i keep on looking around me
but still everything is slow.

so mant things i want to say
i just want to shout
but i look at them and smile...
so this monster won't come out!
