Monsters Heart

by Jack Nightengale   Jan 12, 2014


Empty words followed by false actions,
Trapped in a carnival, my heart, these scars.
Yet I'm still the freak show, monster, the side show to your other attractions.
Simple words keep me bound, emotions trap me behind bars.

Emotional Ferris wheel, and a broken heart merry-go-round,
Tighten the chains that bind me to the ground.
Just wait for it and you'll see,
Once again, I'll be the monster that only I can be!
