That monster that’s inside of you,
The one that’s attempting to devour your entire being…
I know him.
Although he did not sit in my body
The same way he sits in yours,
I am familiar enough with him
To know what he can do.
I recognize his effects on you already
And am scared.
If I had known what you were leaning into
Earlier,
I’d have warned you of this evil being
And saved you from his wicked grasps.
I don’t know what to do now, though,
Seeing as my experience with him
Was much different than yours is.
All I can do
Is sit here
And witness him
Strip you of yourself,
Praying that you’ll climb your way
Out of his grimy hands.
I fear that if I
Step too close to you,
He might crawl back into me
And torture me
As well.
