Invisible Monster

When you face the creature

That waits beneath your bed

Will you stare into its eyes or look away?

Running toward the fire

Or fleeing from the flame

The choice to seek or hide is yours to make

The serpent inside

Wrapping its tail around my neck

I'm buried alive

Dying to take another breath

Invisible monster

Always felt but never seen

Unwelcome presence refusing to leave

Invisible monster

Hiding, never showing its face

Feeding on irrational fear

Thoughts race at a feverish pace

Soaring on a flight of ideas

Perched on its victim's shoulder

Whispering in its ear

Things that may never happen

Worries too much to bear

Invisible monster

Always felt but never seen

Unwelcome presence refusing to leave

Invisible monster

Invisible monster

Always felt but never seen

Unwelcome presence refusing to leave

Invisible monster

Beast that dwells inside my mind

Give up your hold let me take back control

Invisible monster
