Monsters

Folder: 
I Don't Even Know

When I was young,
Gullible and afraid,
I was sure monsters,
Were evil, scary, and a mixture of creatures.

That such monsters,
With fangs of tigers and arms of octopi,
Were hiding in my closet,
To eat me if I fell down.

But now that I am older,
Yet still gullible and afraid,
I am sure that monsters,
Look just like me and you.

Yeah, learned this the hard

Yeah, learned this the hard way. But you know what? I learned.

My friend says she is going to wear her regular clothes and go trick-or-treating this year. She is going as a Serial Killer. Because, she says, you could never pick them out of a crowd. They look just like you and me.

If your mirror doesn't find you one of the most beautiful people it has ever seen, punch it and find a better mirror.
