There's a villain in every story -
And wicked witch of the West,
A wicked witch of the East
An evil stepmother, a monster, a beast.
What does this villain look like?
Some people might ask,
It doesn't always have a witch's broom
A black cape or a big and scary mask.
You see, I have a villain of my own
But she is kind of hard to see-
She has a really good disguise
She actually looks a lot like me.
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who is the fairest of them all,
Or maybe it's monster monster inside of me
Tell me tell me what do you see?
Bring me apart
Tell me to shreds,
Make me a prisoner
Inside of my own head.
Tell me who I am
Or tell me who I'm not,
Tell me what I need
Or tell me what I've got.
You take away my confidence
You take away my self-esteem,
You caused me to fear judgment
And you make me yell and scream.
You taught me with your words
Like this is some kind of a game,
But when it comes on to it
There's nobody else to blame.
This monster is not a demon
Or a devil sent from hell,
It is not a witch or demon
This monster is myself.
I try to fight it
But it will just not stop,
It's never going to seize
It's mean, it's a liar.
I AM THE BEAUTY AND THE BEAST !
There's a villain in every story
A statement that is true,
How do you kill the monster
Whenever it lives inside of you?

LP45 says: I'm sure mostly everyone has a "bad side" to them to some extent. What we have to try and do is keep others from summoning that monster inside of us by not falling for their shenanigans. Great write nonetheless. Thanks for sharing. |

No MercyYou are nothing but a dirty old man Little did I know that It was some sort of plan. It is cool though, but let me ask both of you Did hurting me fulfill your needs ? I am sure that it does not matter to either of you that you made such a young girl bleed, Did it feel good to use me like I was just a piece of dirt? Y’all can use those lines all that you want, But there is no need at all to fluirt Tell me you that care about me while you just take it all away Because I still will not believe A single damn word that you say I remember telling you no and to go away, too But apparently it just was not up to me, It was only up to the two of you ! The day before- You told me, I’m a good girl and how good that I was How there is no need to make such a fuss ...  |

UntitledIt’s three in the morning and I ain’t been to bed. ’Cause I thought I’d stay up and get high instead. The last of my reefer all dashed up with crank. Wrapped in a Zig Zag, it’s now my new Dank. All to myself, I smoke it with pride. ’Cause the gelcap I ate has started my ride. Slowly but surely, my mouth’s been going dry. If I don’t drink something, I feel I might die. I reach for my drink, a cold Mountain Dew. I chugged it right down, now I feel I may spew. I’m acking and gacking, like I’ve done too much dope. I forgot that earlier I placed filters in it to soak. The filters alone was already enough. But I had to add a gram to make it real tough. This spiced up soda that I drank in record time. Was meant to be babied and sipped at like wine. That Mountain Dew was specifically made, to keep three people up for at least five freakin’ days. Five whole days of ... |
I am that girlLike (2) Comment - What did you think? 1 I am That Girl I am one of those people that are labeled as an addict. I am judged, I am doubted, yeah I do not doubt it. I am the one you call a friend. But when I'm not around, All that you do is pretend. I'm the one you say you can't trust. Yet I'm the one that's first to clear the dust. You say I'm angry, but its passion that speaks. *** keeping calm, when I'm the feast! Violence isn't the answer but neither is peace. Addicted to a life that's not so bad. Only because its all I have had. Addicted to the times that have not changed. Not the lifestyle, as the living, that's rearranged. From the streets to a cage. From the cage to the streets. It's the grind that allows me to be free. Watching out for you and me. Yet I'm the only one with cuffs on my hands. Because your my people and I protect my brand. Call me crazy, call me careless. But remember who I am, I'm the one that carry's your stress. I'm ... |
