Who?
Once I thought I knew you
The shadow on the wall
The reflection in the window
But now I'm not so sure
What has changed
The face is gnarled
The eyes are dim
That stranger in the corner
Seething with rage
Wet with the sweat
Of a thousand hours in hell
Who is that man?
Who is the monster in the dark?
The door is shut
And the room is empty
A distant voice is growling
Unknown to me
I'm dead and replaced
By a vague sensation of what I was
A ghost
A shell
And what is the difference
I wish I knew.

Your poetry reminds me of myself few years ago but I'm better now. The monster in me has started to fade😄😄
I think mine has too, but the memory sticks.
It made your poetry beautiful tho✌✌
Yeah, I know that feeling. The strange thing is to have ever recognized ourselves in that reflection... !PIZZA
It's amazing what we are capable of when pushed to our limit. I hope I never go back.

I noticed the rhyme scheme, it was so sweet to read.
Thank you 😊
I can relate, been there and sometimes still there. The monster within can be brutal at times.
Awesome work, have a great day/evening.
Thanks!
