A Book of Poems

Monstrous

Some people wonder why people are such monsters,

but it takes a monster to create one

someone had to have caused so much pain

and left a scar too deep

to the point where the innocence transformed into a scary monstrosity

To the point where they crave the crimson colored liquid that pours from another’s skin

The innocence they once had lost

The soul now as cold as ice

Until someone comes to melt it

Someone with their own pain, to understand and to heal

Someone to give their heart to

Someone to need them as much as they need the other

Someone to send warmth

Someone to eventually love or give their own version of it

Someone to give what they didn’t receive

Demons were once angels

Until they are corrupted with the suffering and pain need to

But in their own way angels are demons too

Monsters were once beautiful too

Some people wonder why people are such monsters,

But it takes a monster to create one

Someone had to have caused so much pain

And left a scar too deep

To the point where the innocence transformed into a scary monstrosity

Maybe the evil and monstrous

Is you
