I used to be afraid of the monsters in the dark,
of the boogie man,
and the creatures in my closet.
I used to have nightmares of horrifying abominations,
of goblins and gremlins, vampires and werewolves,
And the pain these creatures bring.
But now, I stopped screaming in the dark,
looking under my bed,
and checking my closet every night.
Instead, I have nightmares of people around me,
of causing other’s deaths,
and the hurt that society brings.
When I realized the monsters were inside of us.
