Monsters

Eyes are our windows into the soul,
tears are salty sadness that we can no
longer hold, life is unfair with the sweet
remedy of challenge

Smiles are fake just images to hide
the pain, laughter is just noise to keep
the others guessing, kindness is a game
most use as just a weapon

Monsters take form as tragedies unknow,
fear lines the heart with a black like
covering, sadness consumes the mind like
a flood tearing at the ocean

Eyes are our windows into the soul
with kindness as a game worth playing,
sadness consumes the heart as fear consumes
our lives, we are all just monsters built
from the mind.
