Monsters

It’s the monsters who come out of the light

that are the most fearsome,

but those that sneak up from the dark

are the ones we fear the most,

even though they’re smaller,

and often as afraid as we are.

That’s why they

hide and sneak

in the dark places.

The ones hiding in the sunlight

are the more difficult to see

and the most monstrous.

They lie in wait

blending in

and waiting, 

waiting to pounce

and destroy 

destroy

us all

to destroy

all.
