"Monster from within"
by. Jessie Cottenham
The asphalt falls from the sky,
then I hear the people as they get hit cry.
I'm bored as fuck out of my mind,
watching as this scene passes me by.
An up-side down world in front of my eyes,
this is encased in the cage of my mind
long before I had realized.
After years of the longest waiting,
a monster is set free,
and allowed once again to reek havoc on my dreams.
A memory of long ago,
one I thought I had forgotten,
but I guess it didn't want to think so.
Through the naive heart,
questions were asked,
then the answer sot refuge through my mind
beginning to warp.
A cold sweat covers the skin,
as I try to forget what I once wanted to know,
not wanting to remember it again.
Paper thin marks then show on skin,
a testament to the suffering not seen within.
A sleeve covers the marks,
hoping to hide them from others' hearts.
This person that I have become,
now walks down this rain soaked road as another one.
An. This is a poem I wrote awhile back and when I read it to my friend she said said that it would make for a great Final Fantasy 7 poem. So here it is. I hope you enjoyed this and thanks for reading if you got this far. -
