I Am Not a Monster
Yes I am a towering fierce being,
Yet you still bring me down bleeding.
Yes I enjoy causing nightmares and battling paladins,
Yet with you my devastating powers have fallen under agonizing defeats.
Yes I have a scarred wounded face,
Yet with crayons you leave me with cherubic countenance.
Yes I have a deceitful evil laugh,
Yet you are able to read its honest and auspicious graph.
Yes I mostly plan to overthrow something,
Yet you jolt me back to sanity with your alluring humming.
Yes I need to be feared by people,
Yet with you I leave my heart to be tucked behind your conspicuous sepal.
Yes I do lack the sense of wrong or right certainly,
Yet with you I am wrapped around and engulfed conscientiously.
Yes I am not a monster,
For you have robbed my heart and I don’t need it back any longer.
