When we were younger
our imaginations were fluent with creatures
some good
some bad
many were evil and revolting
we referred to them as monsters
and now
we call them the same
but where are these monsters?
we don't know anymore
we used check under our beds
in the closet
now we are not afraid
we do not fear them
because we know they do not exist.....
or do they?
in reality, they do
because the one place
you have never searched
is within you
in the depths of your soul
within the darkness in your heart
it flourishes
it lives, the monster lives
because you stop searching under the bed for monsters
when you realize
it's inside you......
