The Monster

How many lines does it take
before the pain goes away?
How many hearts can you break
before it all feels okay?

Your head starts to spin
and then it consumes you within

How many lies can you tell
before the truth is all gone?
How long will it take you to realize
that this is all wrong?

Your head feels clogged
and your mouth is dry
but that's the price that you pay
to feel like you can fly

you love it
you hate it
but you can't break away
Do what you want
but the Monster is here to stay.

Author notes

This may remind you of the book CRANK by Ellen Hopkins. That's where I got the Monster from.

    Beautiful write,Ash! I`ve never read that book but it does remind me of the song "Blowin in the Wind" by Bob Dylan for some reason. Either way,You are truly talented and you have a passion for words. Awesome poem.
