let me return to the monster

monsters they say haunt
and break and do not let live
they dragged my monster out of me
but now there is a vacuum where he lived
no one calls me unlovable now
no one crawls inside the blanket.
no one tells me that someone is chasing me
no one hugs me after causing havoc
yes, some days are silent and peaceful
but on other days the silence screams
and on those days I scream silently
o demon, where did you go
i need you to take my side
on days when the universe stands against me
i need you to sing me your favorite lullabies
on days when humans are not kind to me
i need you to make me cross the road
when my legs tremble thinking of the past
yes you have hurt me a lot
but you were the one who kept me alive
no matter who you are to the world
to me, you are my little monster
