Monsters in the dark

Watching the water drops falling down my window; a sea of deep thoughts I’ve fallen into

Annoying fears filled my head like a buzzing bee

As if watching the lightening sparks has awaken something in me

I recalled when we were young that we used to get scared of night monsters that’d come out in the darkness

However when I grew up I discovered that it wasn’t just a myth

They are around us all the time playing friendly; wearing a mask of a smile

You give them your best ,thinking that they’re good friends

But when things get serious, their masks fall down & they can no longer pretend

Because one way or another; the truth comes out at the end

I found out that you can spend so long with people and end up never knowing who they really are

I discovered that some people are not that sophisticated as it seems from what they wear and their shiny cars

& I wondered when you work so hard and then life gives you nothing in return;

What kind of lessons are you supposed to learn

I asked myself how am I gonna get any far;

When my dreams are kept for so long in a jar

When the sound of thunder became loud, I felt cold inside out

The shudders had something to do with the fact that my voice got lost in the crowd

Life has taught me that some words are better left unsaid

& that you may think that you’ve forgiven someone

But somehow it still remains in your head what they did

You think that time heals wounds or hurting words; all the same

But it never seizes to hit you now & then, that endless pain

You try so hard to let go, you even pretend that you don’t care but it kinda sticks to your brain

Eventually, there is always a chance that it’s gonna rain all over again

Nobody said that life will be all fuzzy and warm

But they never said that it keeps on feeding on your soul;

Till it becomes like wind chimes shaken by a storm

All the time we try to adapt, while things keeps moving around so fast like a spacecraft

But what keeps us moving forward is that it will be over soon

Just like the way the storm has ended leaving nothing but a clear sky with a glamorous moon

So, keep reaching for the furthest stars

Even though they’re the hardest to catch

Because no matter where you are,

One day your dreams will be close enough for you to touch

& remember that everything ends the good and the bad

That’s why over time you don’t remember the worst nightmares that you once had

When you have the candle of faith leading the path you chose to go

The monsters in the dark will never get you
