There's A Monster

Disease festers beneath
And attacks beauty in a hungry feast
Devouring mind over matter
Watch as a full plate clashes and clatters
To the floor like your confidence
That's trying it's hardest to keep it's balance
Though behind the curtain hides
Not the cute little girl but an infection full of lies
To tear apart the identity of a smile

Keep telling yourself to believe all the while
You know "beautiful" is more than a mile
Away from the words and curses
And the poisonous verses
Of mockery and torment
It's safe to say that you're overspent
Wasted away from the fun and games
Spite your confidence and esteem that is getting buried in the flames
I create and illusion of happiness
And watch as your mind is put to the test
Can you see through my tricks and games?
Obviously not, because I'm still the same.
