i used to think that everyone
was the blame for the distance
between me and them.
but now as galaxies fade
and the ocean eyes turn into grey
i blink and wait

"it was me." i whisper
as the monster that takes cover deep
within
my four walls,
snarls.

and I realize
I have the toxic trait
of self destructing.
"it's too late to save me." i call out,
as the water closes above my head

I'm the monsters and the demons
who can save me now?
