Call Home, Monster

It isn't the nightmares
It isn't speeding cars on a highway
It isn't the dark
It isn't Muslims
It isn't a broken heart
It isn't Christians
It isn't the last breath
It isn't the apex of a tall building
It isn't the curmudgeon at school
It isn't Corporate America
It isn't the dripping faucet
It isn't the unappealing sound from the vent
It isn't six feet under water
It isn't the cold
It isn't your inability to swim
It isn't race
It isn't women
It isn't time
It isn't pollution itself
It isn't the rich
It isn't the downtrodden
It isn't the police
It isn't war
It isn't a world leader
It isn't a failing economy
It isn't free falling from miles up
It isn't a house
It isn't an animal
It isn't the past
It isn't the future, certainly
It isn't the fake super model
It isn't the crazy pundit
It isn't the hipster
It isn't the stripper
It isn't the lawyer
It isn't the reindeer in the park
It isn't guns
It isn't technology
It isn't ailment

It isn't any of those things
Because the truth is

It's always been you
