Monster

The shell burst into pieces,
like glass shards of a bottle that held too much.

There was no shape anymore,
to contain the acid churning inside.
It spilled over,
hurting those it needed the most,
scarring those who it loved.

Appalling myself.
Gushing out of my control,
There is a monster lurking inside of me,
can I hope to subdue it,
when there is no shape to hold it in anymore?
