Siempre pensé que un Monstruo es aquel que presenta anomalías o desviaciones notables
Que equivocada que estaba
Pero no
Un monstruo puede ser un ser que respira, ve y oye igual que tu
Un ser que a simple vista se ve indefenso
Un ser que sonríe a todos sin mostrar su verdadera naturaleza
Un ser que te destruye, que se mete tan dentro que no eres capaz de respirar
Un ser que causa dolor, que te rompe y no deja nada para que te puedan reconstruir
Así era el, y eso fue lo que hizo conmigo
Te invito a que descubras que a veces, no todo es color de rosa
Que un extraño puede convertirse en más,
Y que un monstruo puede estar ahí, respirandote en la nuca
