The Living
Nothing is scarier
Than living, breathing people.
I've never had nightmares about corpses,
Because I've never seen one.
All funerals I've been to
Have been the closed-casket kind.
It's a morbid thought
That makes me uneasy.
The scariest monsters
That do the most harm
Are living and breathing.
We only fear the unknown
Because it is unknown to
us
.
I have no fear for what is already dead.
I seek to bring them peace,
And nothing else.
I am afraid of humans,
The living and breathing kind,
That float around your subconscious at night,
Reminding you how terrible you are.
I am afraid of humans
Because they are dishonest.
Animals are better.
When an animal doesn't like you,
It tries to bite your arm off.
Humans pretend to like you first.
