The Ugliest Monster
One crack in the ice
To reveal what’s below
The ugliest monster
Just waiting to show
The screaming, the swinging
I don’t even know you
My heart breaks, my mind aches
What do I do?
In the blink of an eye
The dark disappears
The innocent smile
Soon reappears
Oh, happiest laughter
Please stay for a while
Hold back the monster
Show me the smile
The happy times blind me
I wait for the quake
I wait for the monster
His cycle to wake
Life, love, and happiness
Will it come around
I hurt and I worry
Will peace be found?
Not asked for, but given
My companion from living
No changes, just push on
One day it will be gone
















very cool! Thanks for sharing
I really enjoyed your poem!
thank you!
Love it! I wrote some darker poems awhile back, but never had the courage to post them.

I know it’s a little on the dark side, but hopefully it’s general enough that anyone can take it how they think it means, lol.
This is beautiful. I can relate to it because I was a past heroin addict. I know that is a lot to tell you off the bat, but that is why I appreciate your poem. You’re a great writer.
Thank you *blushing*
I know what it means to me, but kind of wanted to keep it vague so that it could mean whatever it needed to mean to others… does that make sense, lol?
