Dear Monster

I see you in the mirror staring back at me

With fears that replicate my own

With eyes filled with tears

And sorrows blooming from the bones

We are neither rivals nor allies

Friends or foes

Together our existence is a silo

A lonely breath deep inside

One that leaves our hearts hallow

And as we cling to pride

We cling to love

All while building walls of stones

Darling monster

I wished you’d know

That when I gaze into the mirror it’s not you

It’s me who is less than whole
