Monster

Don't assume you know me.

Just because we've spoken

about random subjects,

Unimportant stuff of the everyday ineffable world we live in.

You hate me because we don't agree,

You like me because we do.

Behind the smiles and the silences

Lies a vast ocean of emotions

And in the deep dark waters is my throne

Hiding the monster,

The one I am keeping away from you.

You see now

The important thing is

I am trying to protect

you.

The rest is just a bunch of phrases.

Words and voices without meaning.

You see now that

I am just like you.
