Eldest 11
Monsters
They say swallow your pills
They have no clue where I have been
Biting nails in the corner
I hear them,they are coming through the shadows
And I am left convulsing!

I tucked you away...I'm hollow...
I am so numb from the pills stuck in my throat
In the pillows I am teething
I can't let go. I am straining to stay

God help me!
I feel so deadlocked by the flashlight
The one that stays up with me every night
Why do you chastise, like I'm them. (they are me)
My Anxiety's asking me, do we serve the same God?

I tucked you away...I'm hollow...
I am so numb from the pills stuck in my throat
In the pillows I am teething
I can't let go. I am straining to stay

This time I'll show you what I have seen....
You were never like me!
And all the things that I've seen
Writing diaries from my dreams...
You were never like me!

I tucked you away...I'm hollow...
I am so numb from the pills stuck in my throat
In the pillows I am teething
I can't let go. I am straining to stay
Straining in your world to stay!
Where I don't belong, where I don't fit in!
Straining in your world to stay!
Where I don't belong, where I don't fit in!
Straining in your world to stay!
I am a freak!
