• I Have a Disability

    I have a monster, she fights for control
    With sweet lies and harsh punishments,
    Keeping me, my soul, on a short leash.

    I have a monster, she makes me afraid
    Of opening up and letting them too close,
    Of their words, of what they think and do.

    I have a monster, she wants me to hurt,
    Tempting razors and fists over my flesh
    Because I deserve the cuts and the bruises.

    I have a monster, she makes me suffer
    Twisting their words and their actions,
    Twisting the knife stabbed in my soul.

    I have a monster, she fights for control
    But I fight back twice as hard as she,
    And I will never let her take total control.

    I have a monster, she makes me afraid,
    But I will not give in to the nightmares
    And I will face my fears, I will not hide.

    I have a monster, she wants me to hurt,
    But I will fight off those dark addictions
    And I will prove to her that I deserve better.

    I have a monster, she makes me suffer
    But I won't give in, and I will endure it,
    I am stronger than her, she'll never win.
