Monsters

I think the moment you discover that the dark isn't scary, is the moment that you realize monsters live in the light as well. And as you realize that this is all true, you also realize that monsters come in the form of humans too.

You have been raised to fear bears, or sharks, and even the invisible non-existent monsters such as the boogie-man, demons, and vampires. But the most common, most lethal monster that you always seem to forget is yourself.

You walk the streets and roads everyday. You walk in field of flowers and weeds. You rise above others, competing for affection or wealth. You start wars, to cover your own flaws and mistakes. You fights wars go keep up appearances. You laugh at others -and make fun- to appear stronger than them. You make games of others emotions, and you play with their minds, make them bend. You laugh and you poke and you **** at them.

Therere is a moment when you realize that the dark isn't scary, it isn't full of all of the monsters we fear any more than the light is. It doesn't add any weakness to you, it doesn't add any advantages to them.

You will become free, your soul reaches up from the pit of youf humanity, and into the sky. It grabs onto the clouds and brings them down to you. The purest of rain, will fall upon your head. the water will be warm, and it will cleanse the monster from within you.

The rain isn't real, and there isn't a legitamate little monster subsiding inside of you, let's just say our humanity limits you. It takes what you need and puts it before what you want. It's an instinct it can't be helped, but when you realize said thing is a monster is the day that the rain from God will touch your head and there in that moment, you will see that the dark and the light co-exist inside of you, and that's how it was meant to be.

The monster is supposed to be there.

The want to rid is as well.

The fear of it, and what it can do is there too.

And the need, no want, for something more;

Something not mundane,

Something powerful yet gentle,

Strong yet serene.

Beautiful but not vain,

Something timeless, yet childish.

Wise and intelligent.

Old and young.

Something completely...

...not human.

Because humanity is where all monster originate.
