a poem for the monster in my head

i cannot hide from myself anymore
using poems to describe my insides
they are not as colourful as i hoped
but they are true
they keep whispering
this is you
my present seems to have paused
i don't feel like a wolf
therefore i must be a fraud
some days one cannot appear strong
or easy or still
constantly trying to rebuilt
nothing times nothing is more nothing
numb is also the outcome of a sum
the end result of poetry
does not reveal a hero in me
some days it will
but it seems like my cup has spilled
i make life more difficult than it needs to be
i've never mastered simplicity
so fill this bowl with hot water instead
and drink the honey,
get out of my head
