Silent monster
Theres a silent monster inside my head that no one else can see
I don’t know him very well but he certainly knows me
He knows what I used to enjoy but no longer like to do
He knows how to keep me awake at night and make me want to sleep all day too
He knows how to make me question if I can do anything right
And he knows how to suppress my fight response and replace it with only flight
Theres a silent monster in my head that no one else can hear
But I hear him very well as he whispers things in my ear
He tells me I’m not enough and that I should just let go
He tells me to give up and leaves me feeling low
He tells me I’m unloved even though I know its not true
He tells me so many things and then I don’t know what else to do
Theres a silent monster in my head that nobody else can feel
He makes me feel sick and not want to eat my next meal
He makes me feel like I’m shrinking until I’m tiny and small
He makes feel empty at times until there’s nothing at all
Theres a silent monster in my head and people just don’t know
How hard it is to live with a monster who is always silently in toe
Theres a silent monster inside my head that no one else can see
I don’t know him very well but he certainly knows me
He knows what I used to enjoy but no longer like to do
He knows how to keep me awake at night and make me want to sleep all day too

And he knows how to suppress my fight response and replace it with only flight
