The Monster in My Head — a poem written by Soheil Erfani Tabar

“I’m a prisoner in my own mind,

In a cage made of choices,

Behind every thought,

Every bar looking decision.”

“I can’t break out,

Although I have the key.

I am afraid,

Of that scary beast.”

“You might know it,

As we are the same.

The monster,

That leads you to bane.”

“That ugly-looking giant,

With a harsh voice.

Telling you to doubt,

Leaving you confused.”

“I can leave,

But is it safe to do?

He is Patrolling around,

Taking mind’s control.”

“I have to fight back,

With a bare hand.

I am out of hope,

This is my only chance.”

“I can sit here,

Drowned in my scraps.

Leaving confusion,

To win this clash.”

“I can leave the cage,

But where did I put the key?

I forgot about it,

The cage is the key!”

“I just need to choose,

And deal with the outcomes.

Breaking the bars,

Leaving confusion behind.”
