The Monster

I'm running for my life
I can't see where to go
I'm running out of time
It's too late, it knows

It knows what makes me shiver
What chills me to my core
It can sense my muscles quiver
It hungers now for more

I wish that I was stronger
I wish I could be brave
But the fear has stolen everything
There's no one left to save

I can no longer fight it
This thing has taken claim
I'm no longer who I used to be
Don't call me by my name

I once was so afraid
But now I have embraced it
The monster that's within
I've finally come to face it
