I never believed that monsters existed
How could I? If I had never seen them
But, little did I know
Little did I feel
They live within us
Buried deep down
Like sleeper cells
They need something or someone to trigger them
A heartbreak or the loss of a loved one or a big trauma
When they wake up
It can change people
Make us do things we never thought of doing
Make us overthink every small action we’ve taken in our lives
Monsters come in different shapes
Wearing different faces
They take the form of depression
Of anxiety
Of antisocial tendencies
As hypersensitivity and a tendency to overthink
Be kind to those who act differently
You don’t know the shape or size of the monster inside them
The monster that keeps them awake at night
The monster that makes them fall apart inside
– Monsters live within us
