Monster

February 16, 2010
By Anonymous

I am a monster,
A brute,
Why do they see me as innocent?
A little girl,
Who could do no harm.
I wish I can tell the otherwise,
Then hid away,
Until I shrivel up
And die…

I wrote this in the beginning of 9th grade. I was confused about my identity. So I would call myself a monster and a brute. I’m still a little bit lost about it. But so far all I know if I keep on believing and trusting in Jesus then I will no longer call myself a monster.
