Teraphobia
When I look at the sky I see monsters
They are not so clear to everyone else
For others would misunderstand
They were my friends...
To scare a monster is a task unknown
For men are deep fools
They are too busy being afraid
To know that they are terrifying...
Beings that are beautiful can be monsters
What is frightening is not always formidable
Everything that is evil is a monster
And yet, not all monsters are evil...
Fear never ends with childhood
Being afraid of darkness
Is to see fear in nothing
When really, fear is everything...
Monsters invade the natural world
Only to us they go by a different name
Hatred, Jealousy, Vengeance
We are slaves to their desire...
And to me, this was the working of the world
As I saw the supernatural clearly
And I was never as afraid of the monsters
Under my bed
As I was of the monsters
Inside of my head.
