Mental Monsters

You may not want to visit

My mind

That's where all my demons dwell.

It's a constant battlefield

Where I'm always on the losing side.

Because it's me against an army of monsters

While I'm just plain old me.

I wasn't always alone in this war

I used to fight alongside my allies:

Hope, Dreams, Happiness

But in this age old war

It has dwindled down to just me.

They've been taken by the enemies:

Despair, Anguish, Sadness

And so I'm here

Fighting a losing battle.

I don't know if I can win

These monsters

Are already tearing at the walls of my mind

While I've been chained up

In my own mind

By demons known as Anxiety and Depression.

I can't get out on my own

I've come to realize.

I need someone to help me-

To help me fight this war in my head.

You may not want to visit my mind

But I may need you to.

Please save me

Before I become one of them.
