Chapter 2 - Monster

I was the gift that kept on giving

I was the one who always loved

I gave it all

I gave all I had

Even pieces of my skin

All parts of me

And you watched me bleed

Your smile filled with glee

You looked happy seeing me plead on my knees, begging please,

Please for your love and attention

Just a little look would do but you never did

All you did was to mock me

I guess that's what made you happy

I put in the effort

I put in the work

I did everything I could

i tried my best , why are they all looking at me like this

Haven't I done enough

I tried, I really did in my best

So in an attempt to impress I became depressed, overworked and stressed

I need rest

I wonder why they look so shocked

Why do they look so scared?

What's so startling, all because i took back what was mine

It was my heart in the first place so it's not a big deal if I rip it off your chest, after all it's mine

Why do they all look so scared, I'm simply taking back what's mine.

I don't actually need it anymore but it's still fun seeing them run

Why the fear in their eyes, you made this monster

You stripped all the human parts of me

You took them from me so why are you so surprised I'm like this, that I look like this?

Why call me heartless, you took it from me remember?

You took all that made me human away from me

"Burn the monster, burn the monster!" they chant

The monster they created

You are my mother and fathers

How dare they forsake their creation

How dare they not nurse their child

YOU MADE ME

YOU MUST PAY

So burn me on a stake

Do as you please but I want you to know

All that made you, "you" is me

Parts of myself that you call a monster are in you

You took from a monster, you made this monster

Doesn't that make you worse

It doesn't matter

I'll be back soon

So sleep with one eye open

Good bye little me's

May my name forever be engraved in your brain
