My grandfather used to tell me stories of scary monsters
Monsters tall, Monsters wide
Monsters who’d like nothing more than to bring you down
He’d tell me how these monster are everywhere
How we cannot escape them, only learn to live with them
My grandfather long gone, those stories still ruminate
I found that the monsters he told us about
Were ourselves
