Monsters

This world is a world of monsters

sometimes they hide

and sometimes they are obvious.

Sometimes they crawl up inside a person

and latch onto their mind

until that person is suddenly convinced that they are so unlovable 

that they should take their own life.

These are the worst kind of monsters

because we can only sit and watch

as the monster takes control.

We can only cry 

when our loed one is lost

and can only scream in frustration 

as the monster wins.

We can wonder how this could be

and what we could have done

but we can't bring them back.

We can only fight the monsters 

before their birth

before they start their climb.

We can only love now

share our love  now

before it is too late

and the monster wins.
