monster child

screams

screams, screams
ears ringing, holding
voices echoing 

humming

child

aching child
teeth grinding inside
pure crazy 

laughter

what drugs have done

what is he
thinking, feeling
i don’t know
can never 

know

screams piercing
voices calm, soothing
hands clapping

bang, growl

whimper

we come undone

fists
rubbing eyes
pushed, poked
pulling hair
out, out

unrecognizable

yet same
monster lunatic
baby child
reaching, kicking

i don’t have it in me

screeching
who is he, what is he
he is me and i am him
we are each other
entwined

this my monster child
