The monster
One dark and stormy night
I walked a lonely street…
with many bends and turns
I would generally meet…
It was indeed
a lonesome walk
I would say…
with the fear of who I might greet,
every day.
Suddenly,
maybe two to four feet,
a ghoul I did see.
A sullen face
I was sure i would receive.
What has come over me,
I could not believe…
for there was no face…
no eyes
to gaze at,
no lips,
nor nose.
I did
what any would do,
I turned my head
with a quiver and yelp
and ran past the ghoul,
looking for any kind of help.
To my dismay,
now only inches away...
I saw another ghoul in sight!
and it was at that very moment
I thought…
oh why didn’t I turn right?
However,
this time I would tell myself
to not get a fright...
I would approach this thing,
and let it ring true,
that I would not be afraid,
not of anyone,
not even of you.
And so I did just that...
I walked one step,
then two…
and what I saw
when face to face with this ghoul
you would ask?
“It’s me!” I did say,
it wasn’t even a mask.
It was since that very day,
no monster I’d dare
scare me away...
no goblin nor ghoul,
I would stay true,
because since that very day,
I’ve found,
we can all be monsters...
even me and you.
