They didn't look like monsters
they looked like boys
childish grins
I was not wary
not even when they wrapped their arms around my waist
I thought it was a game
see who can get closest to the girl
I wanted to be funny
so I played along
they tossed me around like a rag doll
they spun me
they grabbed me
they didn't look like monsters
but monsters rarely look like themselves until its dark
until they have you where they want you
now they all look like monsters
but now they fear me too
