Monster that never was

Monster that never was

I am a monster that never was

They fear me because of my frown

Maybe the deep anger shines through

To my face

Anger from many years

Of Poverty

Of Frustration

Of untold Truths

They fear what they don’t see

For a smile is hardly my thing

The monster that never was

Feared by everyone

Yet a gentle fearful soul

Yes I am fragile

Beyond words or reason

Yes I crumble sometimes

Yes I fear the unknown

Yet my mask stays on

I am the monster that never was

They see it

They fear me

They fear my size

They fear my anger

I fear me too sometimes

The person they have blown me up to be

I fear what I am

The Legend they have created

The powerful, fearless person

With no limits and no worries.

I sometimes hide when I am alone

By being alone

I relish in my own image

I lather in who I see

Yet these are seldom

And far between
