I used to be afraid of the dark
But now I'm afraid of the light
Monsters disguised as people
Walk amongst me
They're everywhere
And almost everyone
They torture and torment me
Beating me down until I can't get up
I'm caged in
Trapped
Terrified
Threatened
There's no escaping them
Because most people
Think the monsters
Are just normal human beings
But they aren't
I see who they really are
Evil
Power hungry
Men and woman
Whose excitement flares
When they hurt others
I'm an everyday target
To their abuse
The bully and the bullied
Giving up would be easier
Than fighting against them
But I was taught
Never to bow down
To a fake king or queen
So I stand tall and proud
For I will never give up
I will keep on fighting
Every day
Every night
Until finally all the monsters are gone
And all that's left is peace
