Slowly I realize
Meanings behind lies
Symbols
How they relate
Monsters
Are part of one's fate
Take for example
Medusa
A woman who dares not
To be beautiful
And any man
Caught staring
Gets caught
And then is stone
A vampire
Devious and cruel
Wanting only physics
Blood and lust
And vanity
Zombie
The most interesting
A body turned
Against its will
Into something
To turn others
Countless examples
Of a story
Viewed another way
