Poetry- Monsters
Updated: Jan 15, 2019
Terror seeks shelter in the likes of lonely souls
Finds solace in the heart that has been conditioned not to feel
In a world in which we’ve been taught to fear vulnerability and pain
We have forgotten how to communicate with love
In the midst of our pursuit for material happiness,
We have become the monsters we used to fear
Our nightlights now vibrate in our pockets,
We never grew out of our dependency on outsourced comfort
Only learned how to wield it as a weapon
But we are fighting ourselves, the monsters,
Lurking in the shadows of our own screens
