We are monsters in this forest
We are ugly and terrifying
Scaring off anything that happens
to see us
Twirl and see the trees become
a portal, a dome, anything
The fire cracks and hisses at us
As we roar our secrets out
giving them to each other, to the stars
to whatever
We go crazy because it's better
than feeling sad or mad
Or anything else that ends with a d
We find comfort in the music
that plays in our heads
that won't go away
and leaves us dancing
until we forget that we are monsters
