Fighting The Monster

Fighting The Monster

He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster . . . when you gaze long into the abyss the abyss also gazes into you
Friedrich Nietzsche

My eyes are sore
As I have gazed 
For decades into
Darkness

I have seen a 
Penis
Eaten by
Its owner
simply because
He did not
want his 
Captors 
Insisting
that
it 
Be
reattached 

I have seen 
a
Monster
Merge 
From 
A
Gorgeous 
Looking
Man

Who made
Women
Blush
only
to
Brutally
Beat
Them
In
The
End

Yes
I have
gazed
Into
the
darkness
So long
I know the
Secrets
they keep

My sanity
holds on
by
a thin line
At
times
something 
I contribute
to the 
therapy 
of
my
ink......

I hear many using music to escape the darkness, even much of that is bad. My wife and I knew we had to be strong because we knew we were going to have to bail the kids out of darkness. Sometimes we must stop and strengthen ourselves before we can help others!  all the best GREG my brother!...........................................................Jim

Being Me

Well now this is a deep, thought provoking write! I think we all have a monster inside of us. For some it rages and screams within producing our outside actions. For some it sleeps subdued, only ever sometimes awake enough to raise an eyebrow. For a few, the monster lies insitu but unborn. But all of us have the potential to awaken our inner monster. Beautiful or ugly, the monster threat is the same. 

I am sorry you have witnessed things so terrible. Seeing such things must stir the monster so kudos to you for keeping that beast in slumber x 

#🤫don't wake the monster
