Monster

There are brains inside this monster 

She is always trying to change 

the way I think

what I say

how I behave 

Reading books 

Listening to philosophy 

Running out of the cave where we live

Searching for the sunshine

Crap like that

But that’s ok

For I have an army

of dark cloud overlords 

who walk amongst her circle 

speak in tongues only she can understand

Wreck her heart with whispers 

Cut her throat with comebacks

Flood her mind with history 

every chance they get

So I can pull her back in 

hold her close

with these long strong arms of mine

All I have to do is wait 

Even the sunshine

disappears behind the clouds 

sometimes
