My Monster, Myself (D & T)

(This poem consists of degrading acts and abuse.)

A girl sat in her room, crying as she was being bullied.
The bully, a monster, giggled and prodded at the girl.
The girl shouted at the monster and flew back.
The monster growled, teeth bared and claws covered in blood.
"Please go away," the girl shrieked.
"You are terrifying," she screamed.
"You are hideous and disgusting," she glared.
"You are a monster!" She had screeched.
The monster said nothing, only laughing as she continued her reign of
hurt.
Years passed and the girl, now a woman, was still plagued by her monster.
She screamed,"I have told you before, you horrible thing, leave me alone, let me be rid of you!"
The monster only smirked, laughing as she stood up, towering over the girl and standing behind her.
"And I have told you before, as you age, you have called me nothing but hideous, disgusting, and a monster. This is true," the monster stood in front of the girl, somehow inside the mirror the girl stared into, now in the shape of the girl.
"But that is only because I am you."
