A Monster Inside Me
There’s a monster inside me,
Trying to break free
Free to tell the world my secret,
I am the keeper
The monster is hard to tame,
Even though I have the key
It is almost too hard to keep myself locked.
Locked in my head,
Locked away from my heart,
Locked inside of me.
The monster is what I’m afraid of
I’m afraid it will eventually break loose
And tells him how I feel
That I love him
He can’t find out
The monster wants to tell,
But I try my best to keep the cage locked tight
If it does break free and tells him,
Please forgive me
Because I can’t control my emotions

Noburu Says:
The analogy of emotions to a monster... it's interesting, to see how every time the monster breaks free. Better to let your emotions out yourself, I think, than to let them break out on their own; that way you have some sense of control over the otherwise uncontrollable.
This poem holds to your writing style; free-write, yet slipping in and out of certain patterns, such as sudden rhyming patterns, repetition, and use of short stanzas for effect. Well done.
