The Disguised
As children, we're taught
To fear the night
Where monsters dwell
With deadly bite.
Hunting and prowling
In shadows deep
While we rest behind locks,
Safe, asleep.
Never taught to fear
The beasts within,
Monsters disguised
Wrapped up in skin.
Beware the humans
With demented hearts
Because not all monsters
Dwell in the dark.
