Slowly I realize
Meanings behind lies

Symbols
How they relate

Monsters
Are part of one's fate

Take for example

Medusa
A woman who dares not
To be beautiful
And any man
Caught staring
Gets caught
And then is stone

A vampire
Devious and cruel
Wanting only physics
Blood and lust
And vanity

Zombie
The most interesting
A body turned
Against its will
Into something
To turn others

Countless examples
Of a story
