Sob, scream, whimper, cry
Let the strangled noises escape your throat
You’re choked up, in desperate need of comfort
But no one was ever there

Seeing things,
Large, hideous, horrible things
Things with talons and claws and teeth
But you said these things were me

Rage
Anger, delirium, blinded by red
My real talons do come out
Your claim of victim finally comes true

You can’t handle it
You didn’t know I could bite back
Sinking my teeth into your heart
Watching as the life left your eyes and fear replaced it

Stark movements
I’m stronger, I’m the winner
Victory is mine and you can’t help it
Of course, I’m the monster now.
