The First Monster's Brother, Sister, and Half-Brother

In darkness hides a Monster,
That no one wants to deal with.
In the night hides a Monster,
That no one cares to look for.
In solitude hides a Monster,
That no one wants to know.

In the brightness breathes a girl,
That everyone always talks around.
In the day breathes a girl,
That everyone seems to care for.
In the crowd breathes a girl,
That everyone thinks they know.

In the dimness lives a Creature,
That few truly see.
In the twilight lives a Creature,
That few understand.
In the tumult lives a Creature,
That few knows exists.

The Monster, the girl, and the Creature all look into the same mirror, and see only one reflection. They smile, then the Monster and the Creature let the girl have control of the body all three inhabit. It was time for them to rest and wait for their turn.
