I've always been told
monsters don't exist
I know this is a lie
I see it in the eyes
I felt in the fist

I know what evil looks like
just like you and me
I see it in the mirror
looking back at me
I hear it's furious roar
When the yells are freed

It lurks just beneath the surface
waiting to pouce
Draining our humanity
devoring every ounce

I have come to realize
So painful to see
Those monsters do exist
They exist in you and me.....
