Persona piece: Godzilla

I am known as King of the monsters but

What kind of creature would be proud of that?

What kind of friends are there to make when

All the other monsters just want your title

And all the human men just try to kill me

And all the pretty girls are

Dead

THIS CITY IS A TICKING TIME BOMB WAITING TO EXPLODE I ONLY WANTED TO HELP YOU

This city never sleeps

Never shuts its bright eyes

I’ve never seen it paintbrush its lashes against the night sky

You are too afraid to sleep

You fear that I will take over

This city

Always talking away

Grinding your teeth into a blender

Blending tv static together

I ONLY WANTED TO HELP YOU

Stop running in the other direction

I can hear the thunder in your heart

It dances along my nuclear pulse

Synchronized with my beating chest

I did not mean to hurt you

My hands are a little too big

Or shall I say my paws

Because I am not worthy of finger tips that turn everything to gold

I wish there was a way.

Because everything I touch turns to dust

Every breath I exhale sends your heaven to hell

And my feet will always have blood stains on them

I did not mean to hurt you

You fear me when all I really wanted was

Companion

I’ve been ostracized for too long

Being immune to death is not a blessing

It’s a curse

I either spend half my days in the depths of my tears or

Sit around and wait for this CITY

WAKE UP

I know the troubles you fight

I ONLY WANTED TO HELP YOU

I hate how my two brains don’t make me twice as smart

Instead

They persist to make me twice as strong

Send radiation towards my palms

I did not mean to hurt you

I only wanted to help

YOU

Don’t understand the power of rejection

Nor will you ever know

But I know first hand

Being the monster no one can ever love gets

Tiring

And being afraid of my own actions is tiring

I’m tired of causing destruction

I’m tired of being unlovable

But everyone claims

That I am just a monster

I will never amount to love

That love in my eyes is your home

Attacked by nuclear bombs and smoke

Invaded by deathly amounts of radiation

Flooded by lonesome rain drops

But I insist

That your love is shallow

That you only need me to fight off tornados

I am only your hero whenever I do you a good deed

But you are blind

I never ask for anything in return

Just a friendship

But you insist that you can never be my friend because you fear

That I will hurt you

I did not mean to hurt you

I only wanted to help

But my jaws are unhinging with every cry I make

I am always accused of ruining the world

Whirlpool me in the currents of rejection

Because I will always remain

Godzilla

King of the Monsters

Master of destruction

Leader of the Misunderstood

I only wanted to help you
