The Monster Inside- My first attempt at writing

The Monster Inside

I am a just a boy, with a monster inside.

A boy who would be good, if he could.

There is nothing else I want besides.

What’s wrong, why can’t I be what I should?

I try to stop the monster inside,

I struggle each day, I promise I try.

To do what I am told, to obey and be bold.

But I need your understanding, patience and love,

And even some help from above.

There is a monster inside me that makes me pout.

He makes me kick, scream and shout!

Why can’t you see things my way, just try to relate,

I didn’t mean to say those things to berate.

I want to be your friend,

on me you can depend.....but...

He doesn't like things your way,

only my we must play.

It's not my fault, it's the monster to blame,

I didn't want to ruin the game.

I try to listen to the teachers and all they have to say,

why can't the monster take a break, so I can learn all day?

I want to be smart there is no doubt,

instead he creates a fuss, interrupts and speaks out.

Unable to concentrate, finish or complete,

The teachers getting mad because she needs to repeat.

All I want is to be well liked,

Be accepted by you, not told to take a hike.

But I don’t know how to sit still

They tell me I need to take a pill.

Could this be the key?

Will this set me free?

To show you all I have to give,

I really just want to live.

To help me become all I can be,

Without the monster in me.
