It's always a dark and stormy night
when visions appear
through the darkness to give you a fright.
They don't pop out to say hi,
when the sun sits up in the midday sky.
But what if I was to say
that this is a lie?
Monsters still lurk
just outside your view
in the light of day when the sky is blue.
They walk among us, every footstep,
they blend in with the crowd.
Don't say it too loud,
they know when you are around.
They don't have red eyes
or a menacing laugh
with blood dripping down the sides.
There is nothing to give them away,
they look just like you or me.
They talk, they laugh, they smile and joke.
They are invisible when they want to be
or centre stage when they crave company.
Monsters don't have to have fangs or wings,
hooves for feet or anything.
They just need hate in their bones,
anger in their hearts,
souls corrupted and torn apart.
They don't need a secret lair
to hide their lies
or to wear a monstrous disguise.
They are already not quite what they appear.
they are just here to provoke fear.
Thanks for reading
