Monsters In the Room

Monsters in the Room I’m looking in the mirror what do I truly see? Prototypes and models, of different persons living inside of me. I want to rid my mind of the trauma in my soul. Things and differences preventing me from ever being whole. A lifetime as a slave, indoctrinating my brain. Fear and deception, given magnitude and too much fame. Watching others in society routinely playing the game. People watching is tragic as it magnifies the retrospective blame. Why cannot man appreciate, a woman, a child, the person. Instead of skin, religion and race or the true value of humanity by its name. We live as a society with monsters in the room. Often the only remedy is a total reset with the strike of a broom.

I loathe society. I loathe the emphasis on skin and gender as both simply fall away at death and are not the eternal part of any of us. I agree with you, can you tell? I enjoyed reading this. Hide at home, we must! (laughing, but serious) All the best ... CayCay
