The way I feel seen

I carry a lot guilt over things I have done in the past and in my minds eyes I assume everyone can se the black stain on my soul. So this poem reflex that fear and how I wish to overcome it

Monster

I am that witch most people fear

Long in tooth and claw

Eyes beedy and black

Skin corse and scaly

Breath hot and Wretch

For this is how their fears see me

But I am just a man

Others I have hurt

Mistakes I have made

Order I have broken

A man who has

been hurt

Tossed aside

Left broke

By others fears

Excuses shell I not make

Nor promises to break

But a chance I ask

To mend my mistakes

And to show you all

I am not the monster you perceive
