Creature

 Don’t get too close, it’s dark inside. It's taking me for a ride.

        It's making me feel lifeless and dead, making me feel grief, stress, and dread.

                            Making me think bad thoughts in my head.  

              The creature inside is getting stronger, and I can’t hold on much longer.

            The creature inside is now my friend, and now we have started to blend.

                    It’s becoming harder to tell what’s real and what is pretend.

     The creature inside wants to break free, and now it’s getting harder for me to see

     The creature inside is clawing its way out, and making me writhe in pain,

                                and making me scream and shout.

                            The creature is now here, and I disappear.
